Painting Reality (& The Streets of Berlin)

Guerilla artists IEPE & the anonymous crew took painting the town literally when they initiated the public art project "Painting Reality." The project involved members of the crew pouring 500 liters of paint into Berlin's Rosenthaler Platz where 2000 unwitting cars and bicyclists became artists. They strategically dropped water-based environmentally-friendly paint in every corner of the intersection while the cars spread the paint in every direction. Check out a video of the project below.
