Peace Ltd

neon sign
galvanized steel, neon gas tubes, 2018

Neon signs have been used since the beginning of the 20th century for various advertising and informational purposes. In the work Peace Ltd (2018), the content of information gets mixed up, when a iconic symbol is broken and reveals something else. The sign draws our attention to the fact that small technical failure can change the meaning of the message radically.
