EXIT is a photographic series depicting “blank spaces” that the artist has come across in his travels. In a world where every available space is voraciously used for advertisement, promotion or information, these images allows the viewer a moment of reflection, a clean slate to project a personal version of the everyday and a portal to escape from a reality that society has fashioned on our behalf.

Having inverted our expectations in pictorial terms in EXIT, in his series AGAIN, Butti now does so in words by symbolically “collecting” protest placards from various demonstrations and rewriting their messages. The appropriated signs humorously reinterpret typical protest slogans to question both their effectiveness and our certainties. More than that however, as in his other projects, they poetically encourage us to consider the non-existence of a single truth.
