These installations have taken over cities and abandoned spaces since 2008. He is inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat who explained: \"I cross out words so you will see them more; the fact that they are obscured makes you want to read them.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRero questions the codes of intellectual property, image or computer language. His use of the Verdana font, which is the most widely used on the internet, is proof of his critical view of the web. Rero never ceases to question the context of art. His work became international in 2012, with major interventions in the wild, especially in the United States. Rero's crossed out words and expressions quickly punctuate prestigious institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRero's work is not simply a literary installation in the urban space, nor a purely intellectual exercise of rhetorical reflection on collective morality. It is the public utilization of a process typical to conceptual art: the juxtaposition of images and words capable of producing a collective interpretation, aimed at an astute audience that finds not advertising campaigns on the walls of buildings and factories, but rather invitations for mental training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFull of audacity, his oversized installations have taken root on the dunes of the Moroccan desert to the borders of the Amazon rainforest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis bilingual edition of \u003cem\u003eRero\u003c\/em\u003e showcases his innovative approach, allowing readers to appreciate the depth and reach of his conceptual artistry in both French and English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47464186151148,"sku":"9782370741431","price":78.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9782370741431-rero-bilingual-edition.jpg?v=1775040751"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/theophile-pillault.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
