Les Innombrables Unveils Found Kinetic Facade Sculpture 'Pinocchio' in San Francisco

On June 11, 2026, the artist collective Les Innombrables installed 'Pinocchio' on a Victorian building in North Beach, San Francisco. The work consists of a cobalt-blue tarp and an orange industrial sleeve protruding from the facade, resembling a nose. The collective describes it as a 'found kinetic facade sculpture' that critiques urban falsehoods and gentrification. The piece dialogues with the readymade tradition and references the Pinocchio tale, where the nose grows with lies. It was documented in a video by VernissageTV, published on September 9, 2026. The work is site-specific, responding to North Beach's history of bohemian culture and current commodification. Les Innombrables are known for using found objects with minimal fabrication, and this piece continues that approach, turning a maintenance shroud into a commentary on urban renewal and authenticity.
