He’s written a book titled The Urban Theater that “documents a broad spectrum of his compelling, often disturbing street installations,” as well as some of the ensuing responses and interactions he’s gotten from people on the streets.

And that’s pretty much all you can ask for when it comes to art, which is personal for both the creator and the consumer.

These are pretty cool, but, honestly, they would totally freak me out if I came across them!
