MR. FIJODOR IS AN ITALIAN LIGURIAN STREET ARTIST, FAMOUS FOR HIS MURALS AND GRAFFITI.

HE WAS BORN IN  THE CITY OF IMPERIA, IN THE NORTH OF ITALY.

IMPERIA IS THE BIRTHPLACE OF GIULIO NATTA, ONE OF THE INVENTOR OF  THE MAIN DELICIOUS  NUTRITIOUS FOOD  FOR MARINE CREATURES: PLASTIC!!!

NEAR HIS BIRTHPLACE THERE IS  THE CENTRE OF "THE SANCTUARY OF CETACEANS", WHERE DOLPHINS, WHALES AND OTHER CETACEANS LIVE SAFELY.

THAT'S WHY MR FIJODOR  IS SO FOND OF THE SEA AND ITS MARINE CREATURES, ESPECIALLY THE WHALES!

THROUGH HIS ART HE WANTS TO EXPRESS HOW KIND AND THOUGHTFUL MAN IS. 

HUMAN BEINGS TAKE CARE OF MARINE CREATURES WELLBEING AND NOURISHMENT, PROVIDING PLENTY OF PLASTIC FOOD EVERY DAY!

MR FIJODOR DECIDED TO DOCUMENT THE RESULT OF MAN FEEDING THE WHALE WITH A MURAL ON A BUILDING IN TURIN.

HE WANTS TO SHOW TOO, THAT HUMANS ARE WELL AWARE THAT POLLUTION HAS A BIGGER EFFECT ON WHALES THAN ON OTHER ANIMALS AND SO, THEY HAVE A SPECIAL CARE FOR THEM, CAUSING MORE POLLUTION!!

SOME OF THIS FOOD ARRIVES FROM A VERY SPECIAL PLACE! HUMAN BEINGS CARE SO MUCH ABOUT THE MARINE CREATURES DIET, THAT THEY EVEN CREATED A "FAST PLASTIC FOOD ISLAND" IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN, WHERE GROUPS OF MARINE CREATURES MEET TO HAVE PLASTIC PARTIES WITH LOTS OF DELICATESSEN. 

AND... THIS IS THE RESULT: GARBAGE STARTS FILLING THE WHALE. 

FIRST THE TAIL ....

THEN HALF OF ITS BODY 

AND IN THE END SHE WAS COMPLETELY FULL!! 

SHE BECAME VERY FAMOUS ALL OVER THE WORLD AS "THE RUBBISH WHALE",  SUCH A BEAUTIFUL  GREY AND FULL OF WASTES AND GARBAGE CREATURE!

IN THE END THE WHALE WAS TOO OBESE. FULL OF ALL SORTS OF WASTE: WASHING MACHINES, FUNNELS, IRON TOOLS AND ALL SORT OF PLASTIC OBJECTS.

SHE STARTED TO BE VERY VERY SICK!

BUT SHE WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE. ALL OVER THE WORLD MANY OF THEM KEEP EATING TOO MUCH! AND THEY ABANDON THEIR HAPPY LIFE UNDER WATER TO SHOW MEN, MAYBE THEIR CARE  HAS BEEN TOO MUCH.  

IT'S TIME FOR THE WHALE TO GO ON A DIET. SO WHAT TO DO? HAVE THE BRILLIANT HUMAN MINDS  FINALLY REALIZED THAT IT'S TIME TO REDUCE PLASTIC AND STOP FEEDING THE WHALE? 

WILL MR FIJODOR ENLIGHT THEM  WITH HIS MURAL - DOCUMENTARY MESSAGE?

AND DON'T FORGET   

THE MARINE CREATURES MESSAGE: 

It'S PRECIOUS
