The image captures a photography by the French artist Philippe Echaroux projected in the Amazonic Forest, portraits of indigenous Brazilians that merge with the landscape in order to sensitize on the consequences of deforestation. This project, the first of street art to be staged in the rain forest, was conceived to support Suruí tribe led by Almir Surui Narayamoga, who had been charged by the Brazilian government to help replant and protect his tribe’s section of the rainforest.
