Trend Hunter has not been shy about featuring the many, many manifestations of President Barack Obama’s likeness within popular culture. And to continue with that popular theme, a group of people have created a beautiful example of collective body paint in motion that, when the bodies are assembled together at the right angle, results in the formation of President Obama’s face.
The YouTube video above offers a clear view of that precise angle at which the faces (incidentally, Pope Benedict’s facial features are also displayed) can be fully appreciated. Just watch for yourselves. Amazing work.
