" Up Side Down, 2007 "

Installation

The work was sponsored by Bénédicte Ramade, art critic and curator, France.


Up Side Down depicts the deconstruction of an standard American mobile home. Floor, ceiling and side walls build a new exhibition space evoking landscape and mobility, domesticity and nature. The pathetic conquest of American territory is seen here by the immobilization of a minimum disposable architecture. Contemporary Archaeology of the topography, Up Side Down describes the symptoms of landscapes, rewritten strata of human history and culture.
