This is a picture of artwork by Brazilian Alexandre Orion who created an exhibition called Art Less Pollution. He spent 17 days ‘cleaning’ pollution off the walls at the same time creating 3500 skull images.
Not content with this good deed he then washed the soot from his rags and made paint which he used to create yet more art. It was one of the segments on SBS’s Dateline. Amazingly powerful stuff. I did a bit of a trawl and found this great post by Green Dream Team which adds even more thought provoking stuff. I want ROE to do a lot of his kind of recycling….find some pollution or waste and turn it into a powerful message by making it useful.
