As part of<\/b> Stenograffia an annual Russian street art festival, a group of Russian street artists found a creative way of addressing \u2018garbage\u2019 in their country.<\/p>\n

Moskvitch cars<\/b>\u2014colloquially called Muscovite cars, since they were produced in Moscow\u2014are a now-defunct range of cars that were extremely popular in Russia during the 1960s.<\/p>\n

Now, they<\/b> \u201cclog space, blocking the aisles and taking the already small parking place,\u201d according to Stenograffia \u201cbecoming not the best decoration for any urban landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a playful response<\/b> to this situation, the artists brought Photoshop to the real world and \u2018deleted\u2019 an old, graffiti-covered Muscovite car, leaving behind a grey and white checkered void that any Photoshop user would know represents an empty space.<\/p>\n

This was achieved<\/b> by projecting a grid pattern onto the car and painting over it, allowing the illusion to be realised. They named their project \u2018Ctrl-X\u2019.<\/p>\n

The work may also<\/b> be an indirect comment at how street art is perceived. By erasing the old, graffiti-covered car\u2014which the artists plan to recycle when the event is over\u2014the artists also make the audience think about the definition of street art: trash or treasure?<\/p>\n

Head over to<\/b> the official site for a full list of all the artists who worked on \u2018Ctrl-X\u2019, and check out their Facebook Page<\/a> for more pictures.<\/p>\n
