DAS NEUE ALBUM 2016. Acrylic on Paper. 400cm x 235cm
Das Neue Album 2016 was created as a response to the phenomenon of street advertising and graffiti. The minimalist ad debuting David Bowie’s recent album was just such an example of an ad positioned a various locations around Berlin. The billboard display phenomenon is such that an old posting is often replaced on regular intervals. A Berlin billboard or poster will last only for up to two weeks to 1 month, after which the images are rendered obsolete and void. When the overlaying of these poster ads get too thick, they peel off inconsistently, creating an expressionist-like frayed paper image on the walls. Revealed in torn paper is glimpse into the history of past images. The surfaces by process of repeated layering and uncovering, build up a topography that mimics surfaces found in nature.
