A collage of photographies in the Streets of New York, showing funny, absurde, colourful and trashy moments. Everywhere we see writings, on T-Shirts, walls, cars, faces and in the trash. Changing too quickly from one picture to another, the letters float around, hide away and pop up again.

Between subjectivity and objectivity, Elodie Pong creates playful and precise situations of our social and individual life. She often works with the interrelation between -humans and language, whereas her works -emphasize and juggle with words and their multiple meanings.
