En Masse is a Montreal-based drawing project that brings together artists from various disciplines to collaborate on massive illustrations — always in a striking black and white. In this Collective video, a group of artists combines forces to paint and repaint a large 3D head as the camera swoops in and out. It's the kind of video you need to re-watch immediately to try to figure out how they pulled it off.
