About this work

This poster, titled "20 Years," features a grid of 20 small blue rooms, each containing a red silhouette of a person. The rooms are arranged in four rows of five, with a white background and a black border. The silhouettes are all identical, depicting a person standing with their hands behind their back. The rooms are simple, with a single door and no other details. The overall effect is one of monotony and repetition, with the identical silhouettes and rooms creating a sense of uniformity. If you're interested in learning more about the artist behind this poster, you might want to look up Walker, Martin.
