Drawing on and expanding material from his Vacuum Days project, Etchells’ provocative Fight Posters announce an absurd series of imaginary fights, contests or competitions. Whether underscoring unresolved conflicts in the social and political sphere, replaying stereotypical media rivalries or simply creating violent competition in places where one might least expect to find it, Etchells’ lurid poster works form a playful invitation to imagine, summoning virtual performances through text alone.
