Making the Invisible Visible

 

Amnesty International

“Making the Invisible Visible is an Amnesty International street art project highlighting the plight of six individuals from the 2011 Letter Writing Marathon.

The project is a unique collaboration between German street art collective Mentalgassi and creative team Lisa Jelliffe and Kirsten Rutherford from Wieden + Kennedy London.

The installations use special lenticular fence posters. Launched in London in 2010 to highlight the case of Troy Davis, this year the campaign can be seen in 26 locations across 6 European cities.

Each installation depicts a close up of an individual’s face. The image is invisible from front on, only becoming visible to those approaching the fence. A plaque on each site alerts passers-by to an Amnesty International website where they can take action in support of each of the individuals featured.

This short film shows Amnesty International activists creating installations that feature individuals including Jabbar Savalan, Fatima Hussein Badi, Natalia Estemirova, Filep Karma.”

Consider also:

  1. “How much of this do you want to know.”
  2. “The Qumran community, from which the Dead Sea Scrolls emanated and who are often identified with the Essenes, had a complex angelology influenced in no small part by Enochic and other apocalyptic literature. The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs betray certain clearly Qumranic predilections.”
  3. “It was at the direction of the head of the Order that I then went to Scotland, to my manor house of Boleskine, which is two or three miles from the Falls of Foyers. My subsidiary object–the principal aim is too sacred to discuss–put into simple language was to gain control over the ‘four great princes’ of the evil of the world.”
  4. “But those people, they were killing America. They were killing the dream. They were all the Constitution this and the Constitution that. But they cherished only the parts they liked. They didn’t feel it extended to us.”
  5. “After my initiation I seemed to myself like a savage who happens to wander into a factory of high explosives. I had to learn the laws of life all over again from the beginning.”
