Why It Matters
The ironic title captures D*Face's wry commentary on motion and futility, a pop-cynical register that defines much of his output. The ten-colour separation is technically demanding for a screen print, and the wide 55 x 100 cm format gives the imagery a cinematic, panoramic presence uncommon in his editions.
Collector Perspective
At 150, this is among the larger editions here and correspondingly the most accessible entry point. The archival 400gsm paper supports long-term preservation, and the landscape orientation suits display over furniture. The blue colourway indicates it may sit within a variant set worth noting for collectors assembling colourways.
Historical Context
In 2011 D*Face was producing a steady stream of screen prints through Stolen Space aimed at a broadening collector base. Larger editions like this made his work available to newer buyers while the multi-colour, wide-format approach demonstrated the technical ambition his print program had reached by this point.
