Artists Recreate They Live in Downtown L.A.

Now the film has served as the inspiration for an “art installation” – meaning, artists Stephen Zeigler and Calder Greenwood took one of those aforementioned The Live masks, slapped it on a dude in a suit and embedded him in the business district of downtown L.A. for a photo shoot in which a bus bench and newspaper stand ad were replaced with some familiar, straight-forward commands.

What’s next? They Live flash mobs? Imagine an army of folks in alien masks descending on Wall Street…

In They Live, Roddy Piper plays a drifter who blows into Los Angeles and takes a job working at a construction site. He soon discovers a pair of sunglasses that reveal an alien presence is living among us.
