Object picket

The work began as a reflection on censorship, which later became a reflection on the sign in general.

Banned words, keywords that the police use to navigate through chat rooms.
The longer you are in a totalitarian regime, the more words are banned. They can be ordinary words, colours or even a rainbow. As I read more and more crazy messages, I wondered how far censorship, a totalitarian organisation of the message that turns letters into hypnosis for the malleable mind, could go. 

The work “Object Picket” is based on a simple utilitarian thing, but like any simplicity it has the potential to become an event.
“To avoid being seen, put it in the most visible place”.
In this work I use the art of concealment as a commentary on the balancing act between visibility and subversion.
The word “implicate” serves as a signifier, offering a literal interpretation that delves into notions of engagement and implication. On the one hand, the work deals with a series of semiotic concepts, the denotate and the connotate. But within the object, these two components are combined and become a code, open to interpretation by the viewer in relation to his or her experience.
