From graffiti to the city:
The history of a system of proliferation, invasion of space, and appropriation of place.
On the way from the street to the museum, the essence of graffiti loses its breath.
If it does not metamorphose it becomes a mutilated object, which in the best case loses its legs and in the worst, sells its soul.
The following installation is a rewriting of tags made on the city; it’s the mutation of graffiti into the invasion of space, parasiting the smallest crevices of the site. Here the gallery is implicated as the active support of the intervention, a metaphor of the city.
The proliferation is pushed to the limit; the space is saturated and supra-tagged.
From this apparent urban chaos, a unitary space is born, where the floor, the walls, and the ceiling are but one, creating a loss of senses, orientation, and gravity.
Time is suspended....
