this is a very, very interesting take on the things we are bombarded
with daily. during a residency in vienna, ripo took one headline
every day over a ten day period from the bbc's online news.
just like in the media, it was painted over the next day with the
next big story.
at the completion of the project layers were stripped away to reveal
partial aspects of the headlines. not unlike the fragments of stories
we recall from the over saturation, hype and media domination of
our day-to-day lives. ripo's lettering, color and composition paint
more than just a well composed picture, but an interesting way to
view such a huge part of our information culture.
