Project Two Research

Alexandre Orion

Alexandre Orion is a Brazilian artist who mostly does graffiti writing but also does other work. He has done different pieces one of which he combines graffiti with photography, the exhibit was called Metabiotics where he took photos of on lookers interacting with graffiti he had painted. Though the project of his I found interesting and most related was called reverse graffiti, I watched a video of him graffiti drawing on the side of a tunnel a mural by cleaning away from the soot that covered the tunnels. The police eventually came to check out what was going on, and they later removed the mural by cleaning the rest of the soot off the tunnel walls. But it was how fast he drew that got me thinking more about the timing in my own project.
