Fence Face
I've got a thing for wheat-pasting. It's the simplest form of advertising around and it's often some of the more interesting stuff I pass in my travels. I'm not talking about airport-style HSBC billboards either. I'm talking about the stuff folks legitimately glue up in the middle of the night on walls and other often temporary venues. What makes them interesting are the imperfections that are inherent in those contexts. Walls are uneven, construction sites are busy, stuff gets beat up fast. It's not precious. I like that.
This is the face of some printed vinyl ad hiding an abandoned lot in Bogotá. The severity of the rip across her face caused me to double-take and immediately take out my phone.
In the sun I couldn't even see what I'd taken. Only later did the drama of the image reveal itself. It was a pleasant surprise.
Make pix.
