Adbusting, or Visual Kidnapping, by Zevs, a French street artist, best known for his trademark “liquidation” technique.
“Visual kidnapping is like entering an interactive game: If the brand on the billboard kidnaps the attention of the public with the purpose of consumer demand, I reverse the situation and I kidnap the model on the poster and I demand a ransom of 500,000€ from the brand. This sum represents the symbolic price of an advertising campaign for the brand.” – Zevs “Of course, there is a graffiti aesthetic to my art but I primarily play with the visual effect. I use the original colours and re-paint the logo with excess. By pouring paint over them, the logo dissolves in front of the viewer’s eyes, drawing attention to, and visually disturbing the recognisable and omnipresent trademark. By doing so, I try to investigate the logo’s visual power. It’s a simple gesture, just as in Aikido when you reverse the power and change the flow of energy.” – Zevs

In this clever installation, an elderly couple observes an oversized cigarette butt as if it were an ancient relic. A tiny museum-style sign adds to the illusion, highlighting the absurdity of how litter becomes part of our environment.
Holding On for Dear Life
A tiny figure sits on a lit cigarette resting on a Marlboro pack, appearing to smoke it. The contrast between the small human and the everyday object plays with scale and humor, turning a casual act into a surreal scene.
A Giant Fallen Beast
A father and child stand in front of a dead bumblebee, treating it like an encounter with a wild animal. This perspective shift makes us reconsider the fragility of nature in urban spaces.
Exploring the Unknown
A man and his daughter stand before a dark hole in the wall, as if about to embark on a cave expedition. The texture of the wall adds to the illusion of rough terrain.
Tropical Paradise on a Tennis Ball
A palm tree emerges from a half-submerged tennis ball, creating a surreal island scene. Two miniature sunbathers admire their unusual tropical getaway, blending whimsy with commentary on artificial environments.
Rowing Through Spilled Milk
A tiny man rows a boat across a puddle of spilled milk, turning an everyday accident into an epic journey. The white liquid mimics a vast sea, transforming the mundane into the extraordinary.
A Can of Faith
A tiny religious figure stands before a fallen Coca-Cola can adorned with a small cross, resembling a place of worship. This humorous piece plays with scale and symbolism, turning trash into something sacred.
