The London-based artist Jeremy Deller was selected for the ninth project in the "Billboard" series from museum in progress. One-liners made up of quotes from figures such as Goethe, Schiller and Shakespeare appear on very different photos documenting scenes from youth culture and urban life. Traditional high-brow and modern pop culture flow into each other.
