Oscar makes a living by driving a taxi 12 hours every day. Ever irritated by the constant bombarding of advertisements, he carries glue, paints and cut-outs in the trunk of his Peugeot 504 and uses them to transform and "improve" his visual environment. "The problem is that people accept advertising as something natural, it doesn't even occur to them to act in response to ads. It would be fantastic if everyone reacted and began to paint street advertising in any way they fancied". Oscar Brahim will be presenting his work for the first time in Europe.
