We teamed up with the anonymous German street art collective Mentalgassi, to create art installations for Amnesty International.
We’ve called the installations ‘Making the invisible visible’. They highlight the case of Troy Davis, a man who has been on death row for 19 years in the USA, despite serious doubts about his conviction. The posters are displayed on fence railings. Front on, you see nothing but bars. Troy’s face only becomes visible from an angle. A plaque on the fence directs passers-by to a site where they can sign a petition to stop Troy's execution- www.amnesty.org.uk/fence

Best of all, it was recognized by the United Nations.
