negative painting, hamburg, 2012




the backside of a graffiti on a window in the mirror.

an archeological exposure of its counterpart, a group of anxious young men, a strict set of rules, a box of beer. copying someone else´s painting is a severe crime.

-camillo painted that.
-i didn´t paint anything, i just wiped it off.
-that doesn´t matter.
-it´s back to front.
-that doesn´t matter.
-what will they do?
-beat you up. not you, but the guys.
-why not me? i´m the delinquent.
-you´re a woman.

camillo entering the arena, sweating young guys. nothing happens.
