2012

Commissioned by Billboard International. Curated by Joshua Schwartz.

This is a roadside billboard showing an appropriated image of a man saving a bear.

It shows Adam Warwick, a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission biologist, saving a 375lb black bear from drowning near Alligator Point, some 40 miles south of Tallahassee.

I blurred the image out of focus, and had it printed and displayed as a banner on the way to Oświecim, the small Polish town bearing the weight of the atrocities at the nearby Auschwitz Birkenau German Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camp.

Materials: Banner 8ft x 20ft. Location: Half way between Oświecim’s market square and the Auschwitz concentration camp, Oświecim, Poland.
