Street Art Faces

On my way to meet clients for lunch yesterday, I came across a street art project on Lyon’s pedestrianised shopping street.

The whole length of the pavement was plastered with black and white photos of faces. The faces showed a variety of emotions, and captivated many of the passing shoppers.

By the time I had finished lunch and returned to take photos, the cleaning crew had arrived to remove it.
