The deconstruction of a billboard on a billboard

In Mexico there is a proliferation of billboards – many advertising CocaCola, Corona or the enticement of a new car, but just as many disintegrating, rusting or showing the traces of the various faded images that have come before.

These workers are putting up/taking down the structure for a billboard, ready for the next new thing. The city is awash with signs but here is a billboard without words, at least for a little while.
