In this series, Bram Reijnders presents an explosion of zest for life and playfulness, cast in the form of fictional 1950s billboards. Each work is a fictional advertisement for values that he has placed centrally in his work for years - freedom, imperfection, idiosyncrasy. The slogans pop from the layers built up from billboards like nostalgic fantasy advertisements for a world that never existed, but that you want to believe in. Full of humor, rebellious élan and an infectious kind of cheerful nihilism, these works invite you to have to do less and play more
"In a world where we are haunted by advertising slogans, political promises, media hypes and self-promotion on social media, I regularly ask myself: What is the truth?
If we have to believe all the messages around us, we end up in a filter bubble in which the truth has become a product.
In my recent works I show this universe through youth icons and snapshot photography of everyday situations from various cultures that in isolation have an alienating effect on thick layers of bilboards that I 'rob' from big cities. These are almost animal traces left by man in his attempt to draw attention to the “Urban jungle”.
