The Pansy Project
http://www.thepansyproject.comArtist Paul Harfleet plants pansies at the site of homophobic abuse, he finds the nearest source of soil to where the incident occurred and generally without civic permission plants one unmarked pansy. The flower is then photographed in it's location and posted on this website, the image is entitled after the abuse.
This simple action operates as a gesture of quiet resistance, some pansies flourish and others wilt in urban hedgerows.
