Light Grafitti

Graffiti-ridden derelict sites have been given a much needed  face-lift with extraordinary 'light' art. Brightly coloured dragonflies  and lillypads decorate murky stairwells and butterflies swarm in unused  drains in the art created by 'Tigtab'. Much like Banksy, Tigtab, from  Melbourne, Australia, keeps her identity a closely guarded secret. Each  image is created with the help of light boxes lined with silver foil  with a lid carved with patterns. These intricate designs are revealed  after a burst from a camera flash lights up the inside of the box. In  this picture, a pond scene is created in a flooded derelict building
