PIGEONHOLE

2017 LISBON /CASCAIS

DESCRIPTION

The work can be understood as a form of détournement in the Situationist sense. The advertising display case is neither destroyed nor removed from public space; instead, its material, spatial, and medial structure is retained while its function is altered. A medium ordinarily oriented toward commercial communication, recognizability, and the production of desire is redirected toward another pictorial use. The intervention therefore does not operate outside the existing order, but within its own infrastructure. It uses the visibility, framing, and public presence of that system in order to interrupt its original purpose.

This shift concerns more than the content of the advertising surface. It also redirects attention toward the conditions under which images appear in public space. Illumination, format, location, and framing are not merely technical properties of the display case, but components of an apparatus that guides perception and grants certain images privileged visibility. Once the commercial message is removed, this infrastructural function becomes more apparent. The advertising medium no longer appears as a neutral container, but as an active element within the public order of images.
