Pasting onto public advertising to create graffiti is nothing new. But an anonymous Berlin resident seems to have put a new spin on the genre with “Don’t Forget…”, a series of interventions where a Photoshop palette has been placed on posters featuring Britney Spears, Leona Lewis, Christina Aguilera and other oft-airbrushed ladies. And though we may all find in time that
“Don’t Forget” is yet another corporate-flavoured elaboration of the Dove “Real Beauty” campaign, I’m enjoying its pointed, anti-perfectionist approach right now.
