The Dismantlers: “Formed a year ago in Paris, Le Collectif des Déboulonneurs are one of several French groups on a crusade against consumerism and aggressive advertising. Staging high-profile protests across the country, the group demands that advertisements in public spaces be restricted to dimensions of 50 x 70 cm (the maximum size for political posters). This March, the Déboulonneurs won a huge symbolic victory at a trial when they were found guilty of vandalizing billboards, but only fined €1 – vastly less than the €75,000 and five years in prison which they could have incurred. Alex Barret, one of the founding members who was involved with the trial, shared his thoughts with Adbusters.”
