The British, Berlin based, artist Simon Evans (b.1972) is known for his fascinating cut and paste artworks, like ‘Everyone’, where he presents a map with small pictures of the people who have been important to him. In another work he talks about 300 secrets, and in ‘Everything I have’ he shows small renderings of all the artist’s possessions.
