sometimes more sinister below the surface. this image of ships in the mediterranean is actually a refugee both graveyard italian authorities don't know what to do with them so they pile up there. is first as if the jury on city about people on the outskirts of. the exhibition combine seven and this is talent as both a photographer and storyteller and it takes you to the corners of europe you've never seen before. and this week's series when tree lights we attempt to bring some light into when to start yes this also applies to the invention of french artist to little for the no water like graphic the paris based our professor had a bright idea he invented surfaces with thousands of little limbs that start to shine when they come into contact with water everybody is invited to be part of the

art so leave a message and let it shine. electricity and water not an obvious combination like water is the only thing that can light up just the wall of water like graffiti was created by a french artist and his miss mariah's dog and so this hold over the world. this project most of the times when most people trop people would focus laser lights. to try to understand always walk most of the people or try to in the sun and that's when i explained i use what's on it. it's just going to be no i had just had just to say no it's just five words so it's similar beats without and much according same time. the water conducts electricity between the it functions as a bridge making the lights shine. the water the greater outdoors water like

graffiti also interacts with the weather when it rains the wall lights up automatically. and when the water dries the lights disappear. even high humidity lights up the pole here in hong kong drawing on the wall by drying off certain. there are all kinds of creative avenues to explore. for an old came up with the ideal running an art workshop in china. what's to make up of us humans of concretes like wrong. maybe warm we can shine. a long me i think it make it in my mind. to use it it is and this practice in china makes him seem you. will drop the first prototype for.
