Marc Bijll is interested in social structures and their (mis)use of slogans, logo's, symbols and code's.
His counter-cultural (video)performances and (illegal) interventions play with our perception of what takes place in public space while his installations or objects are icons of temporarely fanaticism wich can lead to nationalism, terrorism, religious fanaticism and finally death.
But, according to the artist, human nature is attracted to these simplifying structure methods (logo's, symbols, (political) slogans, prayers, or even advertisements) more than it needs freedom to do without all that information
There is a romantic desire hidden in his attempt to understand the world we live in.
