Overhead wire art installations, #2

Another strange sighting from Expat:
After I found the frying pan at Hotel Circle, I kept my eyes open for more "overhead sneaker art". Behold the latest -- discovered at the North end of India Street, almost opposite my favorite pub the Shakespoo (as it's irreverently known). Like the frying pan, I surmise that the bellows was a prop in some promotional display, and once the show was over the prop-master wanted to put his work on semi-permanent display. Felicia and I wonder if this is a purely American (maybe even purely Californian) art-form, or do people sling sneakers over phone wires in, say, Helsinki?
