Last week, Minneapolis-based street artist [HOTTEA](http://www.flickr.com/photos/hotandtea/with/8670025591/?ref=hyperallergic.com), who is well-known for stringy street art that normally weaves its away around chain-link fences, transformed the pedestrian tunnel at the Williamsburg Bridge into a colorful passageway. Street art photographer Luna Park captured the ephemeral installation, and you can find more images on her [The Street Spot](http://thestreetspot.com/2013/08/hottea.html?ref=hyperallergic.com) blog.

Remarkably simple but transformative, this isn’t the first time an artist has added color to the metallic jungle of the bridge’s pedestrian walkway. Peter Brock’s “[Baji Lives!](http://www.petersbrock.com/public-art/?ref=hyperallergic.com)” was an equally vibrant jolt in roughly the same space.
