Rietveld Billboard ²⁰²¹

two layer screen-print on billboard, 118,8 × 504,6 cm

Madeleine Elisabeth Peccoux made this site-specific installation for the billboard in front of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in her final year of study. She was inspired by seventies step-by-step self-teaching yoga guides. Here, she is reproducing Viparita Shalabhasana, also known as the Superman pose. The billboard's position and the image make it seem as if she is flying away from the school. It is both a reference to her graduation project (see "The Clear Blue Sky From Which The Airplane Fell") and to the fact that she was about to leave school.
