‘One millimeter’ — is the brainchild of the Australian creative director, Alex Wadelton and an Irish art director Marcus Byrne. Both have tried to motivate people to look beyond the color skin- all look same without skin.
This is a shocking series of portraits of world leaders who have been depicted with their skin removed. They are shown stripped off the ‘one millimeter’ of skin that covers all humans. It dramatically coincided with start of the G7 summit in Sicily on may 26th. The objective of this project is, “We are all members of the same race — the human race — and we should all treat each other with respect.”
‘I was watching the news one night, looking at the state of politics in the UK, the US, and here in australia, along with what’s happening in syria, and the mass displacement of tens of millions people across the globe,’ describes Alex Wadelton. ‘it just feels like the world is on a knife edge at the moment. our leaders are posturing to protect their own country rather than the future of humanity. it struck me that the only difference between us all is literally the skin we’re in. that one millimeter of skin that covers each human. strip that away and what lies beneath us all is a fragile creature.’
