Embodied Letters

Synopsis

Eze is learning to write: The letter has to be one step wide and one arm high. The word has to be legible from the fast distance of a highway. Color will do the rest, identifying the name with the political party painted on the wall. During the campaign, every free space in the city will be disputed by the crews specialized in commission political graffiti, and every skillful lettering artist will be demanded by the rival crew. On the eve of election silence, the final hours when painting is allowed, Eze will expertly embody several candidates’ propaganda, exploring the limits of this game of representation.
