Light is his medium. The U.S. capitalâs grand edifices are his canvas. U.S. President Donald Trump is his muse.
Meet , a Washington, D.C.-based artist who is using mobile projectors to protest against the United Statesâ new Republican government.
âThere is clear outrage in this country and around the world about the Trump administration,â Bell told ŰÎŰ´ŤĂ˝ Channel on Friday.
âAnd we want to focus that energy and let people know that itâs not just Donald Trump, but itâs a whole institution⌠itâs a system thatâs not holding him and these others accountable.â
Using light, Bell has taken aim at Trumpâs entire team.
The hashtag â#SESSIONSMUSTGOâ and a cartoon image of Attorney General Jeff Sessions in a Ku Klux Klan uniform was recently projected on the Department of Justiceâs headquarters to protest against the former Alabama senator, who has been dogged by accusations of racism.

At the headquarters of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Bell projected the words âDONâT LET A CLIMATE DENIER TAKE OVER THE EPA,â a jab at the new EPA head, Scott Pruitt, who sued the agnecy more than a dozen times when he was Oklahomaâs Attorney General.
âA lot of these officials, they donât actually respect the departments theyâre head of,â Bell said. âAnd so we have a lot of inspiration for making art around these people who do not care about the government and are trying to destroy it from within.â
The controversial new Trump International Hotel has also been targeted. One message, projected just above the hotelâs main entrance with an arrow, read âPAY TRUMP BRIBES HERE.â
when "Pay Trump Bribes Here" is projected over the entrance of his DC hotel.

âThe Trump hotel in Washington, D.C. just made sense,â Bell said. âThis is where foreign governments are changing their reservations from other hotels and restaurants in Washington, D.C. to the Trump hotel so that they can get access to the president.â
Bell says that he has no plans to stop his projection protests any time soon.
âThis is 100 per cent legal and falls under First Amendment rights,â he said. âPeople on the streets of Washington love what weâre doing.â
IM PEACH
