Colourful messages transform the winding favela streets  

Earlier this year Boa Mistura, an urban art collective formed in Madrid, worked on a vibrant community project near São Paulo, Brazil

The collective worked with the children and other residents of Brasilândia Vila, a poor suburb on the outskirts of São Paulo, to fill the narrow streets with colour and words: beleza, amor, doçura, firmeza and orgulho (beauty, love, sweetness, firmness and pride).

These one-point perspective messages are carefully painted to reveal themselves to passers-by as they reach a certain part of the the street. The smiles of the participants clearly say it all.

Optical Illusions by Justin Fantl

By experimenting with color and shape you can take something that is essentially 2 dimensional and create a 3 dimensional quality. Not only that, but you can influence and change perception with color and form alone. This grouping of images is aimed at playing with ideas of how we perceive color and shape through optical illusions. Most of these are based on famous illusions but I have re-interpreted them through paper cutouts. There is no photoshop. They are all constructed of cut paper and then photographed.
