The story of the Bremen series (2023)
The venerable hanseatic city of Bremen still offers a paradise of (ripped) posters.
For some local politicians, the use of billboards that are no longer used, is like a disfigurement.
After all, it is an expression of public participation. The neighbourhood is alive.
Ripping off the posters was quite easy, because it was wet due to rainy weather.
Why look at "dirty" posters and walls?
The posters on the left side look quite unspectacular. But: Under the "SO!" poster as well as under the posters next to it, there was a hidden treasure, an outstanding example of a so called retro d'affiche (the back of a poster) with grease pencil, felt pen and translucent and shimmering fragments of posters.

The KVS series from Lisboa (2022)
In portuguese cities like Lisboa, Aveiro or Porto one can find décollage material at the power cable distributors.
As the german term is "Kabelverteilerschrank" or "KVS", the series is titled with KVS plus serial number.
Here again the diversity of décollages manifests itself.

Action - ripping old posters
On August 6, 2016 some friends accompanied an décollage action in Budweis (České Budějovice). On the way to a typical czech and
cozy restaurant, I discovered an electrical box covered by old posters. The decision and mission was clear: RIPPING THE POSTERS!
The action was filmed. You will hear some comments in German. Enjoy the first steps of a MAKING OF.
