Above and below are shots of a  tribute to Iñigo Egiluz, a 24-year-old aid worker from the Basque Country killed while working in Colombia in 1999 (El Pais), by Julio Arriaga on Avenida Sabino Arana (named after the father of Basque nationalism – WP), in Bilbao, Spain.
A video of the boards which comprise the piece (or served as a first draft) can be found at the very bottom.
