Through collages that combine the communist and brutalist architecture found on tourist postcards (1947-1991) with disruptive graffiti found on murals worldwide (2010-2025), artist and photographer Gabriel Jones merges the vertical with the popular, the sublime with the subluminal, as well as the political context of the past and the present.
This decontextualization is subversive and produces a humorous effect. The graffiti on the facades reveals what many of us secretly think, whether speculatively or intuitively. In this way, this series brings immaterial resilience to imposed superstructures and an alternative to tourist experiences. This dynamic lends itself easily to reflection on the superstructures proposed by contemporary politicians, whether in our minds, socially shared, or through personal intervention in places. The juxtapositions in these collages express the resilience of the freedom that people exercise in the face of the facades imposed on us.
