No Name City

Working in digital animation and printmaking, Tobias explores the hidden ideological and aesthetic qualities of mass-produced products. No Name City depicts a series of digitally animated “no name” products floating across a yellow void, rising as precarious miniature towers and collapsing under their own weight. Younger Than Beyoncé Gallery, a nomadic artist run centre, uses a mobile advertising truck to present the work and its luxuriant three-dimensional rendering of 'No Name brand's ubiquitous products.

Their fashion is as radical as Warhol's art while offering subtle hints to the Factory era's fashions
