Marok vs. Studio Anti
The Theme is an adaptation of the Traphic* Project visuals with a weathered look, this means a touch of decay that human assembling and natural powers leave on the surface of our industrial manmade products.

The main piece is an electric and interactive installation of spotlights (using energysaving neonbulbs) that form an iconic lightplay, that enlightens the sidewalk and gallery window. The Lightdisplay can be programed by the visitor or will runs by itself.

*TRAPHIC presents an interpretation of various networks, time frames, experiences and the general surroundings of modern-day existence, through a combination of visuals and texts based around the headline : ‘traffic’ + ‘graphic’ = TRAPHIC. The exibition TRAPHIC represents the natural and necessary result of Marok's linguistic and artistic investigation. This show carries out the concept displayed in the book through installations, graphic artworks and videos juxtaposing various urban materials and mediums close to street culture.
“With my installment I basically want to create a parallel approach to common things. Link and connect things which are otherwise considered disparate elements, and thus create a present that is both absurd and real - just like today’s reality.” - Thomas Marecki
