Eye Bombing: Artist Uses Funky Googly Eyes To Humanize Inanimate Street Objects

Carolyn Mullet

Eyebombing is the art of sticking “googly eyes” onto an inanimate object in public in a way that cleverly gives it the appearance of a living creature. Some artists believe that every existence has a soul that human beings can feel and imagine but can not see, hear, or touch. Plus, an unknown poet said eyes were the windows of human souls. Therefore, street artists put additional eyes on objects and items to pull them closer to us.
Bulgarian artist Vanyu Krastev is one of the masters of eye-bombing art. Even though googly eyes standing alone are silly and useless, they can bomb our eyes when attached to the right thing. We just have to use a bit more imagination to enjoy the amusing, surprising street art. What if those objects we thought had no emotions really smiled while greeting us? And when you feel gloomy but can't find a comprehensive friend, maybe these lovely eye-bombing works will make you feel better.
