The Subversive Act of Living Underground, 2000
Vinyl lettering on cardboard boxes and on wall.

The text is a fragment of a possible discursive projection onto Manhattan’s
reality. In the exhibition it is - as a mental construction - superimposed with
the grid (block) structure - which is a physical one. It is influenced by European thinking (Sigmund Freud,Robin Evans, Gaston Bachelard, Rem Koolhaas, etc.) and was written out from distance.
It is not an attempt to analyse the existence of the people living in N.Y.’s
underground by making them visible again (photos,ect...), but the trial to
“locate” their disappearance from the surface in one possible discursive construction.
