A large scale street art piece called "boy/girl" by Jeremy Charles Burns, from the same River North Art District as @Vagabond's post above. This is the girl side, but if you walk further down the street and look in the opposite direction, the panels depict a boy.

Nikon FM2n, AI Nikkor 50mm f/1.8S, Kentmere Pan 400, developed in LegacyPro L110 at 1:31 for 5.5 minutes.

This style of shifting art is so nostalgic to me. I think it must have been the peak of "cool tech" when I was a kid. I remember many many toys that "transformed" when you shifted them side to side.

What is commonly known today as street art started in the 1970's, if I'm not all wrong. In those days it was often regarded as vandalism by the establishment, but today it has in most places become mainstream. It's even exhibited in art galleries, which I think is quite ironic. That's probably what happens to all art rebellions.

I find your definition of "street art" to be quite constrained (unartistic?) Is a roadside chicken made out of chrome automobile bumpers street art?

I really like the concept. Would you consider shooting it from both angles, one showing the girl and than another showing the boy? Then presenting them together as a diptych. I sometimes think we get too constrained by thinking the only presentation is one singular standalone image when there are so many variations. I sometimes ask myself if Andy Warhol would simply be dismissed as non-compliant by this group.
 
Is this "street art" or just a capture of the sign for the iconic "Hot Dog Heaven" in Orlando Florida? Or, maybe should we just conclude that labels or classifications for art simply do not work.

Off topic but I recall a 1985 movie 'Turk 182' ...

Unfortunately, I'm not local to go back and photograph the other side. I actually didn't even know there was another panel on the other side, and only found out when I did some research about the piece. Whenever possible, I try to do due diligence and credit the original artist. In this case, I used Google Street View and found the artist's instagram @jaysaybay painted on the wall, which led to their website portfolio gallery.

The idea of creating a thread for street art was to separate it from graffiti, scribblings on a wall. I have no problems with your chicken, but a commercial sign or ad is usually not considered as art. But today I would not be surprised if somebody hauled a hot dog sign into a gallery and called it art.
Here is an example of street art made from junk.
