Life

A wall painting measuring twenty-seven metres in length and three metres in height, accompanied by a publication, was realised in the former CBK (Centrum Beeldende Kunst) in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The work employed enlarged Letraset images, widely used by graphic designers during the 1970s, the period of my adolescence. By mobilising these graphic fragments, the piece articulated a repertoire of social clichés, simultaneously foregrounding a sociological interest into systems of representation and my own critical ambivalence toward the complexities of human life.
