Making the invisible, visible is a collaboration between the Brothers and Sisters creative team Lisa Jelliffe and Kirsten Rutherford and the German Street Art collective Mentalgassi. The collaboration will see Mentalgassi create a series of art installations for Amnesty International, highlighting the case of Troy Davis, a 42-year old man on Death Row in Georgia.

The desire to see the death penalty implemented for Davis is attributed to the fact that he has the tag 'cop killer' hanging above his name. Therefore the conservative solidarity has become restless in the need for an irrevocable execution date, for the final satisfaction that the death penalty will deliver a clear warning.

Yet what is the role of the death penalty in a Western democratic society? Albert Camus argued that capital punishment as a deterrent was ineffective, and furthermore grounded in instinct emotions and revenge, rather than law or principle which are the inherently the key components of justice.

The head of art at Amnesty said of the project “This is an amazing and striking new way of taking the Amnesty message into the streets and this project is set to boost that still further

Whether you believe in capital punishment or not is not the main issue here. The main issue is this: should a man be sentenced to death when we are not 100% certain that he is guilty of committing the crime? The answer is a resounding no, yet some people fail to comprehend this assertion.

The art installations can be seen at 4-7 Great Pulteney St, 21 Great Pulteney Street, and 5 Berners St (all W1).
