Coffee Table in Koreatown [Weekend Watch]

July 24th, 2011

A fun example of guerrilla urbanism from L.A.’s Koeratown.

From the creator’s—Julie Kim—website:

As an experiment, a friend suggested that I place the Hammock Coffee Table on a bustling sidewalk and film the results from a “spycam”. We shot some footage at the intersection of Vermont and 6th Street in Koreatown, LA. Watch the video to see what happens when a coffee table appears mysteriously on a street corner. The video aims to challenge the perception that no one walks or uses public transit in Los Angeles, while also romanticizing a sometimes forgotten corner in the City.
