Mobstr's favourite target is advertising billboards - the British artist does not think advertising belongs in the streetscape - although he also tackles walls, road signs and lampposts with equal irony, swagger and gusto. With his critical, sarcastic and usually very funny interventions, Mobstr often makes us reflect on our relationship to public space. Anyone who pauses to consider this work will notice that the letters reveal what the word ('past' in English) refers to.
