The Dissolving Poster
Award: Graphite Pencil
Graphite Pencil / Media / Use of Press & Outdoor / 2019
In tropical countries like Brazil, it rains all year round, increasing the accumulation of standing water and the outbreaks of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which transmits the Dengue, Zika and Chikungunya viruses, and other diseases - mainly in favelas and difficult access areas. To reach those places raising awareness and fighting against the insects, we created special posters that dissolve in the rain and kill the mosquito before they hatch. With just one poster it is possible to exterminate the Aedes Aegypti focus in up to 200 liters of water for at least.
