The ubiquity of brand logos in our environment today can be seen as a form of epidemic (dictionary definition: ‘affecting or tending to affect a disproportionately large number of individuals within a population, community, or region at the same time’).
The work references Ed Ruscha’s work Large Trademark with Eight Spotlights (1962)  depicting the 20th Century Fox logo.
