Arzhel Prioul’s work is grounded in the poetic détournement of public signage. Through the re-appropriation of pictographs, logos, and institutional visual language, he reclaims space from the dominant forces of consumerism and bureaucracy. His practice treats branding not as a neutral language but as a tool of containment, one that prescribes behavior and identity. Like a kind of graphic Robin Hood, Prioul removes these signs from their original context and transforms them into gestures of collective agency. By embedding his works into the built environment, he interrupts passive visual consumption and instead offers a renewed, inhabitable narrative.
