“Tlen”, “Be patient”, “cross”: artists remade the names of popular Russian stores

Russian artists from the MXD art project make unusual collages about life in Russia. In their works, the heroes of the American animated series "Hey Arnold!" Armavir falls on the streets of Armavir , and the police use swords and crossbows during detention.

On February 10, MXD published a new selection of collages with converted names of Russian chain stores. For example, the “tape” turned into “decay”, and “magnet” - into “well, you are not a tycoon”.

These collages are the reaction of the authors of the project to increasing VAT . “It is important to say that our series is not a reproach towards companies. They are in some ways the same victims of what is happening with prices, ” said the artist of MXD Viktor Mogilat in a conversation with TJ.
