The title of this work derives from the revolutionary anarchist Buenaventura Durutti, who was involved in the Spanish Civil War in the 1930's. In 1936 he led a column of 6,000 men to liberate the city of Saragossa. The image was re-appropriated from a French student poster and the French 'bubble' speech translated into English. In keeping with the idea of covert planning and night manoeuvres the work is printed in luminous inks and only reveals itself when the lights are dimmed.
