Project Viehofer Platz, Essen

with Sebastian Wickeroth

Election posters are a common sight at public green spaces. Here, they are placed slant with an angle of 25° and placarded with a monochrome plane. The billboards are placed systematically starting from a square and closed at the forefronts. As a whole they form a simple structure, which is spreading rampantly on the place in all directions. The traffic island forms a frame; the structure breaks open at the edges and therefore the viewers sight appears to be rather chaotic. The advertising billboards will be placarded with new colours every month.
