"I transformed my second van into a courier van, by copying the fleet marking of DHL Logistics & Mail. Using the DHL van is a performance on an almost daily basis, which starts when I make use of it: on the road I greet my “colleagues”, and I park the car as real couriers do. Although I never pay any parking fee and don’t have a parking licence, I never got fined for doing so.
This work questions as well as proves the power of a logo in public space."

too bad he did not give credit to the artist he is imitating. it is a parody on the very INfamous Kabouter Buttplug statue, that still hasn't been installed, but much discussed in that same city..

Artist Florentijn Hofman creates fantastic monumental monochromes in an effort to reduce loud ignorance and create contemplative quietness.

true enough, technique doesn't conceal her satire

i mean the DHL dupe works only because you know its a dupe and even then, so what? no ticket? big deal.
Appropriation dead end.
