ANA DIAS BATISTA

Panel, 2015

collection of used advertising key signs and replicas in MDF

260 x 650 cm

"Faça aqui", curator Thais Rivitti, Ateliê397, Sao Paulo

 

All the giant key signs that form the collection belonged to Brazilian locksmiths and were bought or traded by the artist for new signs. A random number of replicas in MDF was made from each original. The models were placed in reference to panels that, at locksmith kiosks, hold key blanks, not yet cut.
