2023 | Street Posters: Leipzig

Your Body Your Hak, Poster house paint and glue, 2023

Discarded posters salvaged from Leipzig’s streets were layered into installations. Torn and weathered, they carried the residue of public life into the gallery.

During a period in Leipzig, I began gathering discarded posters from the streets — torn, weathered layers carrying the marks of public life. Removed from the urban environment and reassembled into installations, the posters brought the residue of protests, concerts, and political campaigns into the gallery. Their surfaces spoke of time and decay, of images no longer in circulation yet still resonant. By working with these fragments, I sought to create a bridge between the street and the exhibition space, reminding viewers that culture is written not only in institutions but also in the temporary, everyday surfaces of the city.
