Street Art 2.0 - painting with light through the tropical rainforest

Street Art 2.0 - projections of faces on treetops.

Street Art 2.0 is an art project by Philippe Echaroux, in which this Frenchman uses light instead of sprays and, in contrast to graffiti, otherwise the most typical representatives of street art, his works harmlessly intervene in the space. For his last canvas, he chose a tropical rainforest, where by projecting portraits of the Surui tribe onto the treetops, he drew attention to the problem and consequences of excessive deforestation.

Street Art 2.0 is a light project by a 33-year-old French photographer and street artist by Philippe Echaroux. The beginnings of the project date back to 2014, when he projected the images for the first time in his native Marseille, and he collected for his last canvas tropical rain forest in Brazil (Rondonia) and put a human face on the trees when he 'painted' representatives of Brazil on them the Surui tribe.
