EVERY THING YOU THINK YOU KNOW is a public billboard erasure project. An unbranded billboard message is slowly redacted, with a letter removed daily over a period of weeks, creating a range of readings and meanings. This unidentified message was designed to be experienced incidentally, to create a moment of confusion or curiosity; a small intensity.
This project first unfolded in Naarm/Melbourne in May 2020 as part of Next Wave Festival's Assemble! Program. During Covid-19 lockdowns, Make or Break commissioned local artist, DJ and performer Niveen Abdelatty to visit the billboard daily and paste over its message one letter at a time.
This project was first commissioned by Next Wave as part of Assemble!, with billboards provided by Mr Moto.
