VIDEO – VERMIBUS – Dissolving Europe

“Dissolving Europe” ist die 10-minütige Dokumentation mehrerer europaweiter Adbustings, des in Berlin lebenden Künstlers VERMIBUS. Vorgestellt wurde der Clip erstmals Ende 2013 in der Platoon-Kunsthalle in Berlin. Info:

Dissolving Europe is the new public art work that stormed Europe this year from Vermibus. Using a dubious inter-rail ticket, Vermibus set out with a set of 90 keys and his pallet of solvents to physically and temporally highjack the western world of advertisements in the name of fine art.

Each site is carefully deliberated with its environment, from Rolex boutiques, to archaic museums. The system looks simple in movement: unlock and roll the advertising poster to create a huge blank gleaming white breath of fresh air in the urban environment. The advert then undertakes the process of counter action painting using a series of solvents and brushes, it is then replaced in another site, another city, another country.
