The Poster
“Get rid of the G8 shit, UNITED!” 2007

The poster is based on the video work HI-RES, by Marina Gržinić and Aina Smid from 2006. The video is a collaborative project with Maja Delak and Mala Kline from Ljubljana.
The poster is about three strategically precise political moves of confrontation within the public space (to move, to block, to remain) in order to make G8 a history.
