Identity Theft

"Identity Theft" is a new art installation by Leon Reid IV in Brooklyn, NY.

"Identity Theft" depicts a 14ft sculpture of a cat burglar creeping on a Brooklyn rooftop pillaging a social media profile picture as often used to symbolize identity on sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Inspired by a recent robbery in his own building complex, Reid decided to place the concept of theft in a 21st century context, whereby personal information is often more vulnerable than personal property.
