Religious buildings, statues, monuments occupy public space in the same
way as street furniture, advertisements and road signs. These figures were
once to impress and remind the faithful of the existence of God. Serious,
imposing, they are frozen in time, but today denote with contemporary
urban elements. These anachronistic monuments struggle to keep their
authority, among electric poles, signposts and advertisements.
Religious symbols compete with logos and traffic signs in the modern city.
Very graphic, slender, perched on pedestals, they participate in the race for
visibility in the forest of signs, maintaining a dialogue with today's
communication codes. The gravity of the Christ figure is often altered and
made obsolete by the elements present in the contemporary city.
This series attempts to highlight the meaninglessness of these religious
icons in the modern city.
