Description
Surprised and amused by the posters “fresh paintings” present throughout the city, often glued after the interventions of “anti-graffiti” services, the Czech artist wanted to make a mural! Constantly written in the same size and with the same typography, Deana made a true copy, painting and giant format.
Still visible, on the wall of the exit of the parking of Besançon City Hall, Arsenal side.
