EMESS
OFF THE WALL
Emess’ theme here is childlike curiosity, which is often the driving force behind artistic creation – the title of the series “OFF THE WALL” not only refers to the use of Berlin street advertising as a pictorial background, but also means something like “abandoned by all good spirits” and thus reflects the crazy, youthful spirit of discovery, which often comes to very convincing results through “try and error”: key experiences from childhood days that we never forget again.
In combination with the brick pattern pressed through onto the billboards, these large-format stencil works by Emess have a very authentic street character and a strongly nostalgic, graphic note.
