I mentioned earlier about two worthy exhibitions which invite you to question reality; the second recent favorite was going on at Rojo gallery in Barcelona by the German trio known as
eBoy . Their giant, backlit plexi-panel "posters" represent various well-known global metropolises, easily identifiable by pixellized renditions of familiar buildings, all generously decorated with global brands and logos which seem to inhabit these places as much as the numerous pixel people/creatures (peecol), godzillas, and miscellanea. What I love about these is the tiny details of craziness happening in a casually urban environment, such as a war between robots and monsters, turning cars over and occasionally killing people, while passers-by snap photos of iPods cheerily holding hands.
I especially like this homage to the Victorian house-on-wheels I saw at Burning Man a couple of years ago..
The eBoy trio like to include themselves in their work.
And to give you an idea of how big these are:
Each panel can be yours for a mere €4000 to €4500 (USD$5100 to $5800). Or you can just be thrifty and buy their Pixorama book for only €20. At least that one fits in your pocket.
