About the work
"Rantanplan escapes censorship" perfectly sums up the artist's critique. In our information society, the press does not merely document: it filters and censors uncomfortable truths (symbolized by Basquiat). Meanwhile, it allows to flourish and promotes harmless and stupid distractions (Rantanplan). The only thing that is not censored is the stupidity that distracts the masses, while truth and systemic critique are masked. Rantanplan is free because he is not dangerous to power; he is the face of complicit entertainment.
