the first living walls mural that went up in downtown atlanta was part of the 2010 conference. from what i’ve read, there was a last-minute donation which allowed the production of this huge painting.

paris-based street artist remed painted this massive 11-story mural on the side of the thrifty car rental on peachtree center. it’s so big that it’s hard to photograph. i’ve done quite a bit of production work nearby and have tried shooting it from various vantage points. it’s sandwiched between two tall buildings though, so it’s hard to get the whole mural without a bunch of power lines. it looks like i need to head to the top floor of a nearby parking garage or get a fisheye lens to capture it better.

you can actually get a sweet view of the mural if you zoom in on google maps using satellite mode. i guess i just needed a satellite camera!

like many of the other living walls participants, remed has artwork on display all over the world. be sure to check out more of his work here, here & here and an interview here.

check out our previous coverage of living walls atlanta and also a great google map of the 2011 living walls murals.
