POTD: Splat

Splat Paris, France 2013

I find this image interesting in a Jackson Pollock kind of way, but it also has an oddity that makes it quite curious. There are a number of shoe prints in paint heading out of the spill, which makes sense if people walked into it without looking somehow. But why are there bare foot prints in paint leading towards the spilled paint? Was somebody walking barefoot backwards down the sidewalk? If so, I guess they’d have the perfect excuse for not seeing the spill.]]>
