No stranger to political and activist artworks, Shepard Fairey has taken to the streets of Paris for a series of statement pieces titled “Earth Crisis.” The first installation appeared in November of last year, a giant sphere which hung between the first and second floor of the Eiffel Tower. The second came to life this weekend as fashion week came to an end.
