I didn’t know what to think when I first saw ‘Duomo Chameleon’ from Carter Schwarberg. This [live piece of performance art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bio-pop) features Schwarberg painted to match the [facade of Sante Maria del Fiore](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humanise-wall) in Florence, Italy.

Schwarberg eventually emerges from the side of the building, much to the surprise of the tourists and citizens alike. I like the whole human-against-history vibe that Schwarberg puts off by blending into the background of the building.

Check out the video for ‘Duomo Chameleon’ and decide for yourself what this piece means to you.
