Speaking of “dead tree editions,” two Brazilians, Armondo Fontes and Catia Rissi, have launched a “guerrilla art protest” against the city of Belo Horizonte for cutting down trees and not replacing them. Thus, their “chalk outlines of cut urban trees.”
Says Fontes:
I thought to refer to the universe of the cartoon. The silhouette made with chalk also recalls the demarcation made at crime scenes. It is ephemeral, since the chalk quickly dies out, but everything is recorded in the picture.
