The Wipe Out: Correction Fluid for Life

What would you erase if you could erase anything from your life? With The Wipe Out: Correction Fluid for Life, I invited people to delete from their lives what they don’t like, bringing a gigantic Wite Out to wherever they needed in the city.

2011Materials: empty 5 gallon bottle of water, gesso, white paint, scanner of Bic Wite Out, people

Adrift

What happens one’s equilibrium is in the hands of others? To explore this, I placed myself adrift in raft without an anchor in a windy Patagonian Lake and invited one hundred tourists to balance the raft by adding some clay.

2011Materials: raft, clay, tourists, boat, lake and wind

The Comforts: items for a happy New Yorker

Being against crowded subways in New York City rush hour, and assuming the role of an urban planner, I suggest to both the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the riders of public transportation in New York, an archetype to foster a comfort zone among rider inside the subway. This wearable blue inflatable device in the shape of a pneumatic with shoulders straps calls into question the gains and losses of requesting individual space in public transportation.

2011Materials: discarded stand, blue fabric and plastic bags
