This work was created by José Manuel Cervera “Plati” and Daniel Camp as a tribute to cinema, comics, video games and advertising at the end of the 20th century. Famous caricatures, characters and films are represented. Given the size of the location, the piece comprises various designs on a number of walls.
First of all, there is the caricature of the famous drink “Sprite” together with the ghost and the logo of the film “Ghostbusters”. Next to it is the famous event of the World Cup organised by Spain in 1982, with the World Cup mascot “Naranjito” which was chosen as the symbol of this sporting event as the orange is a typical fruit of the Spanish Mediterranean. We continue the tour with letters, graffiti and cartoons such as the “Cookie Monster” or the main character “Goku” from the famous cartoon “Dragon Ball”. Also characters from films such as Wall-e from “Short Circuit”, E.T., Edward Scissorhands and Alice in Wonderland, together with the famous video game Mario Bros and graffiti followed by letters from the series “Back to the Future”. And lastly, the famous series “Knight Rider” together with a collection of vinyl records, Walkman, headphones and the classic corded telephone. In addition to the silhouette of the famous video game “Pac-man” and a variety of graphite with one ‘send it’.
