Masking and distorting the original surface is, in my opinion, a very straightforward and ordinary technique. But in addition to the theme that the artist is trying to discuss through his/her works, it can be seen as a defiant spot. That will attract and direct the viewer in the right-thinking direction.
Here are my favourite works on the topic:
- Lucia Monge, Nosotros, 2015
- Jannis Kounellis, Untitled, 2005
- Sakir Gökçebağ, Guests
- Richard Wentworth.1980, Rubber and concrete
- Ai Weiwei
- Sylvie Fleury, Prada Shoes, 2003
- Doris Salcedo, Atrabiliarios, 1993
