Oliver Laric

tamper evident security hologram stickers on PET (polyethylene terephthalate) sheet, airbrushed clear coating

Oliver Laric's work presents a sheet of PET plastic adorned with tamper evident security hologram stickers, their iridescent surfaces flickering with shifting light and encoded patterns designed to deter forgery. An airbrushed clear coating unifies the composition, lending the piece a sleek, industrial finish that echoes the language of authentication and commodity packaging. The work interrogates notions of originality, reproduction, and trust, repurposing the visual rhetoric of anti-counterfeit technology as an aesthetic and conceptual subject.
