Alex A Clockwork Orange Pelham version

A Clockwork Orange by is a novel by English writer Anthony Burgess, published in 1962.
Stanley Kubrick directed the movie based on this novel. The story is set in a near-future English society that has a youth subculture of extreme violence.

 For this series I made use of an A Clockwork Orange bookcover designed by David Pelham and the backsides of posters sourced in the streets. When I peel the posters of the city walls
more often than not remnants of paint, rust or graffiti on the wall beneath the posters come off as well. Leaving nice textures and colors on the backsides of the posters. In this series I worked a lot with the beautiful patina found on these backsides.
