About this work

This painting is made of cut-up newspaper pages glued together. Big black letters spell out *"The Days of This Society Is Numbered"* in the center. The pages show ads for cars, phones, and people—all in bright colors and bold designs. The artist used real headlines and images to make a statement about modern life. The mix of languages and ads hints at a global, fast-moving world. Look up Rirkrit Tiravanija to see how he turns everyday things into art.
