    Protest Sign Forrest 2.0 | 2013

In the first months of 2013 many street demonstrations took place in Budapest organized by students and various civil groups opposing the government policy on social issues and education. Invited to take part in a show in those weeks I sent out an email to artists asking them to write a slogan they consider important to be shown in public. The more than 50 various slogans were converted into protest signs and exhibited with the instruction to the visitiors to take them if they whish, thus the signs started their own life reappearing on several different protests. A series of photos were later collected from the online media reporting about the events documenting their trajectory.
