Belcher's Street — Billboards work, 2016, Hong Kong, Hong Kong

A commercial hoarding at No. 23 Belcher's Street, Sai Wan, Hong Kong — a structure ordinarily reserved for commercial messaging — became the surface for an untitled portrait Vhils cut into it in March 2016. The support stood in Sai Wan, Hong Kong, where such structures are replaced on a constant cycle. The billboard is now lost, part of Vhils's wider engagement with appropriating existing urban infrastructures.
