Description
I was invited to do a site specific installation in Travana, Slovakia. The gallery was an abandoned synagogue.
I shot a video in Tranava and developed a series of street signs in the style of normal street signs. They presented short poetic lines which also became the lines sung and spoken in the video. They were distributed throughout the city. I also included my Interflow Architectures text. A beautiful catalogue was produced to accompany the show.
