This project is made by three paintings (oil on canvas), three short videos, and three big prints placed in the public space.

This work makes us think about certain behaviors, situations and illegal activities related with plagiarism.
Each part of the project is autonomous , but the whole work is conceived as a structure based on a advertising campaign, the paintings imitate advertising posters, the videos imitate the TV spots, the images in the public space imitate the big billboards from the streets.

So in this case, the plagiarism does not only refer to the images that we present but to the methods we used to make this work with images taken form the media.
