You name it
Installation made by translating a previously made graphite drawing, of a small set of passages made out of clay and rubbish. I enlarged those passages and structures of support out of folded paper, flour, styrofoam, stools, and a big ladder. Their arrangement encouraged the audience to move around the room following one of the given paths, making them constantly adjust their view of the space. Moving up, down, through, and over, but never being able to see the entire structure at once. Drawings were featured within the flour and the styrofoam pieces; representations of a variety of commonly seen but unintelligible systems of communication: road signage, utility road markings and RFID tags; systems used to transport information of such a specific kind, or in such a specific way, that the meaning of that information becomes obtuse when out of context. The intention of the installation was to break away this over codification by way of wandering, and offering the audience a material absorption and reinterpretation of those codes.
Dimensions variable, graphite on paper, finger on flour, marker on styrofoam, folded paper, brick and wood, ladder, work lights, and two stools.
