Billboard
DS: In a way, a billboard is a big canvas that we see from the street or the road. I like the billboards when they are empty. We have many in Brazil that are made of metal with beautiful patterns with no images on them. Billboard started with old panels from four or five years ago that had tile-like samples of floors glued on to them. I then took these panels, put them together and cut the image of the billboard into the center. In the billboard one can see all of the glue marks. Later, I used the panels as a studio table to collect more scratches and cuts. Billboard I is more complex. It’s more like something that is kind of expanding or metamorphosing.
