USA: Los Angeles is fighting homelessness with tiny houses

from

Jürgen Schmieder, Los Angeles

What immediately strikes you in the largest mini-house settlement for the homeless in the USA: how brightly colored everything is here. The artist Zach Hsieh has painted the 117 houses with candidates from his casting show “Instant Influencer”. You can now see sunsets on the walls, butterflies, roses, laughing hearts, cartoon characters and grinning turtles munching on melons. “The people who come here have experienced very bad things,” says Hsieh, who painted happy bumblebees and friendly monsters on a house: “Art should be a distraction and bring a little joy.”
