Filmmakers in Dusseldorf Germany used a camera and a projector to draw attention to the “invisible” nature of the town’s homeless population.

Nice! That’s cleverly done, especially getting the media to report about it and make people think about the issue a bit. Good for them!
For what it’s worth, all of the street hucksters are invisible to me, especially the current plague of environmental ones. That’s not because I have anything against them personally, but because they all use normal human social conventions (e.g., eye contact, mutual respect, reciprocity) to manipulate people into giving up money.
I know they all think they’re doing the manipulating for a good reason. For the ones I agree with, I make them (or organizations that help them) part of my yearly donations. But I don’t want any of them badgering me on the street, so I never give money in person.
Nice. I wish i had been there so i could take a flash photo of him too.
