Michael Pederson makes tiny pieces of art and places them in public spaces around Sydney. You might walk past one without even noticing it, until a small sign catches your eye and makes you smile, laugh, or stop and think for a moment.
His work is simple and clever. A gap in a wall becomes a tiny theater “for cockroaches,” and a hole in the pavement is turned into a miniature airport departure gate. These little surprises blend into the city and turn everyday spots into something fun and unexpected.

#6 “The World’s Smallest Park (2021)”
“I made this piece a little while ago, and a couple of people mentioned that the actual ‘Smallest Park In The world’ is ‘Mills End Park’ in Portland, Oregon (I love that it exists).
Yes, my park is somewhat smaller, but it’s obviously not ‘official’. I think this is pretty cool, though, because it highlights my favorite zone to work in, which is the ‘almost real, but not quite’ (if that makes sense).”
