Abstract
With transformation process from classical or mass media to new media, similar movements like
graffiti, which was firstly occurred as a social reaction and became an art branch, have been seen in
the digital media. A movement in digital media has started by Lucas Levitan by illustrating on digital
images similar to graffiti based on wall painting in the real media. In these movement called by
Levitan as photographic invasion, pictures in digital media having copyrights are subjected to
invasion, and pictures are deformed. The work which has been started by Levitan as instagram project
is a good sample for examining illustration and manipulation issues in new media. For this reason
illustration concept was examined in perspective of Levitan and photographic invasion. According to
results of the study, photographic invasion is similar with graffiti which is a branch of art occurred a
reaction of art to the right of property. In photographic invasion, illustrations on pictures without any
permission for copyright, whereas in the graffiti compositions are installed on other’s right of property
without permission. In this respect, photographic invasion is a candidate for literature, and the first
argument of this was given in this research.
