Face 2 Face

"The Face2Face project is to make portraits of Palestinians and Israelis doing the same job and to post them face to face, in huge formats, in unavoidable places, on the Israeli and the Palestinian sides."

"In a very sensitive context, we need to be clear.
We are in favor of a solution for which two countries, Israel and Palestine would live peacefully within safe and internationally recognized borders."

Hope - Obama - Tbox

After this ad from the Turkish bank Garanti, it's now the turn of the Turkish clothing brand T-Box to copy Shepard Fairey's poster "Hope".

The ad says : "Hope Dedik". in Turkish, "hop dedik" means "we said : enough !", but with a word play it says "we said : hope". Our only hope is T-Box.
