“The OBEY campaign can be explained as an experiment in Phenomenology. The first aim of Phenomenology is to reawaken a sense of wonder about one’s environment. The OBEY campaign attempts to stimulate curiosity and bring people to question both the campaign and their relationship with their surroundings. Because people are not used to seeing advertisements or propaganda for which the motive is not obvious, frequent and novel encounters with OBEY propaganda provoke thought and possible frustration, nevertheless revitalizing the viewer’s perception and attention to detail. To catalyze a thoughtful dialogue deconstructing the process of image absorption is the ultimate goal. All in the name of fun and observation. The Medium is the Message.” Shepard Fairey

Born in France, studies in Geneva.
Skater and supporter of Antiz Skateboards from day one.
“Skateboarding is a street art, and maybe that’s why I started expressing myself through collages… Street art has a big influence on me, because it is accessible to everyone, everyone can see it and everyone can do it.
EVERYBODY NEEDS COLORS, and creativity colors my life.”

TM = Richard Niessen & Esther de Vries are graphic designers based in Amsterdam, who share the interest in dense collaborations with clients or autonomous projects. They do not believe in just a representation, they always tend to produce ‘new’ works, making full use of the production process. In stead of one clear concept they seek durability through richness in layers. They like to emphasize the materiality and to avoid references: each work generates it’s own universe. Their most spectacuar work so far is “TM-city,” an installation produced in 2007 for the Jesuit Chapel in Chaumont, France. “TM-city” is a modular exhibition of TM’s work in the shape of an urban landscape.
