ENTROPY, FROM THE GREEK 'ENTROPE', THE ACTION OF TRANSFORMING ITSELF AT RANDOM. FOR THE FIRST MONOGRAPH IN ENGLISH OF THE PORTUGUESE ARTIST VHILS, AKA ALEXANDER FARTO, IT IS AN EMBLEMATIC TITLE INDEED. THE ARTIST'S AIM, IN CARVING PORTRAITS OF ANONYMOUS PERSONS ON THE DEGRADED WALLS OF OUR MODERN CITIES, IS NOT ONLY TO GIVE A SECOND LIFE TO THESE ABANDONED MURAL SUPPORTS BUT ALSO TO BRING TO LIGHT ORDINARY CITIZENS ROUGHLY TREATED BY A SOCIETY PROGRESSING AT A FAST SPEED AND LEAVING THEM OUT.
