Pink Bear Is Coming to Town

Pink Bear Is Coming to Town places LUAP’s iconic figure within the flow of urban life, where performance meets observation. Set in public spaces across cities, the Pink Bear appears quietly among crowds, at crossings, and in transit zones—present but disconnected, seen yet often overlooked.

These performative photographs explore themes of visibility, disconnection and the surreal within the everyday. The Bear’s vivid colour and stillness create a tension against the pace and anonymity of the city. Each appearance becomes an unscripted moment, capturing genuine interactions and fleeting responses from the public.

The series invites reflection on how we inhabit shared spaces, how easily we miss what does not demand attention, and how something extraordinary can slip quietly into the ordinary. Pink Bear Is Coming to Town blurs the line between presence and performance, encouraging a closer look at the world we move through without pause.
