He changed for example “Alt-Mariendorf” into “Strg + Alt + Apple-Key”, “Alexanderplatz” into “Alexanderspass” and “Pankstraße” into “Punkstraße”. These changes are not digital - Red Retro uses original vinyl-transparency to make his mostly funny wordplays. The aim of this creative urban interventions is to break through the wall of people’s daily routine and monotony and to provoke human emotions. Red Retro is now on the way to Latin America. I’m curious to see what there will be come next.
