We talked about Alan Butler's fascinating work Down & Out In Los Santos last May in a wide-ranging interview.

Subtitled The Construct Moment, this new teaser, released by Les Rencontres D'Arles (The first International Festival of Photography in Arles, France), provides additional details about the ongoing/developing project that documents homelessness in Los Santos, the fictional city of Grand Theft Auto V through in-game photography.
