Site specific Intervention




The cheese door along with the mutated rat was a mixture of a performance piece, sculpture and an illustration. Reason being, once someone enters through the door, they become a part of the piece, ready to be eaten by the pouncing mutated rat.
- Door, A4 paper, pen, broad marker, brush and ink.


All hail Cheesus, was just me letting off some steam in an attempt to take something very close to me (cheese) and combing it with something that has been the center of grief for the last two years (church). In order to make Sundays less teeth grinding.
The billboard is best used for commercial advertising, selling a product to appeal to a certain demographic.
I wanted to make people aware of Cheesus, and what place better to intervene, than a billboard yards away from two churches.


All of this was part of a collaborative project to make a documentary about street art and sub-subsequently,  the art of tagging. We filmed three events; one on a brick wall. The second out side of a chicken shop and the third, on a billboard.

Kacper: Director and editor

Taymah: Erm... well I was in the bloody thing
(we were all a part of the documentary)
