Berlin based artist Vermibus collects advertising posters from bus shelters. These ads become the base material for his work. By employing a solvent and manipulating the existing ink, he brushes away the faces and flesh of the models appearing in the posters, as well as the brand logos. Once the transformation is complete, he then reintroduces the adverts back into their original contexts.
Vermibus dehumanises the figures that were already depersonalised, as a means of launching a strident social critique against the advertising industry. The street is central to the message of Vermibus’ work, and it is where his art begins and ends.
