39 – Nicolas Polli

Switzerland (1989)
Sorry if I Stole your Place
Bus VMCV
Outdoor

On the official bus of the Biennale Images Vevey, Nicolas Polli has created a unique artwork that takes a humorous approach to everyday objects around us. The Swiss artist carefully arranges the pieces, playing with their size or interweaving them to create an absurd and varied composition. Inspired by fashion, product design and advertising, this travelling installation challenges the traditional use of the bus as a promotional medium. The playful images highlight the ordinary and the banal, often dismissed by our ultra-connected age. By removing objects from their surroundings, Sorry if I Stole your Place reshapes reality and offers an interactive visual experience on a bus that takes the time to connect places in the region.
