The Living Wall: Russian street artist transforms derelict buildings with quirky faces

A street artist has brought life to derelict landscapes across Russia by creating quirky faces to run-down buildings.

Nikita Nomerz transforms window frames into eyes and brickwork into teeth and smiles, creating elaborate graffiti with his signature grinning faces through his project, The Living Wall
