Drawing on the transparent cellophane protecting the package and afterwards removing the "package" from the "contents" resulted in these artworks
The tobacco company's advertorial space is reappropiated, personalized, augmented and decontextualised.
Regaining the advertorial space by writing and drawing directly on it both inscribes and scratches the surface of existence, expressing our autonomous free will both as artists and as individuals.
For consumers there is still the possibility to express a 'lost' freedom by invoking and counter attacking the mechanisms that made us 'consumers' in the first place.
Physically attacking the existential chains of a producer-consumer prison by writing, scratching and otherwise subverting the ordinary processes which are keeping us as target prey for predators from commodities producing elites.
As a political stanza it is a modest attempt to criticise a socio-economical environment in which the ability to acquire goods and objects is almost the only human practise left.
