1997 - Present
Set of messages found on walls, posters, advertisements, and protest signs across public spaces in different sites, these words present fragments of ideas that introduce an element of mystery : accidental findings generate outcomes that remain inherently uncertain. Touching layers of subjectivity, they invite endless associations and interpretations as an open-ended series of expressions, enigmas, and mind games, capable of provoking new insights.
Closely aligned with conceptual and text-based art practices, these images foreground the capacity of language to generate alternative ways of perceiving the world, at once aesthetic, poetic, and political. Here, the messages emerge as silent and ambiguous presences that produce estrangement or wonder and, paraphrasing Jacques Rancière, hold the potential to stimulate reflection and mobilization.
