Andrew Tan’s Not Street Art Project is a conceptual photography series that began in Melbourne in 2021 during COVID-19 lockdowns. Constrained to a 5km radius and photographing only downward, Tan focused on surfaces underfoot, uncovering accidental compositions, textures, shadows, and the visual rhythms of urban life. The project plays with irony: these works are not murals or graffiti, but fragments of the street transformed through careful attention and framing. As restrictions eased, the series expanded to cities including Sydney, Canberra, Tokyo, Sapporo, London, Edinburgh, New York, and San Francisco, maintaining the downward perspective to create a cohesive visual language. Not Street Art demonstrates how observing the overlooked can reveal unexpected layers of meaning, reflecting a study in constraint, observation, and re-seeing.
