Description:
‘The redundance of public signs. He picks up certain infrastructural issues of our society, as, for instance, this yellow colour on the plaques (…) I think there is an awareness of what he is doing, also in theoretical terms. That's what I like about the work, it's almost not there, it's very modest and it's like a little thing someplace, somewhere. It reduces the massivity that's around you. Also, in a humorous way, it's something very typical. It puts attention to something apparently dull and frequently existing in our daily life. It's anonymous.’
