In solidarity, your neighborhood, 2021

Protest signs from Los Angeles by 2020-2021, cast resin, 750 × 250 cm/ and their eyes became sharper

Set into the ground like inlays of cast resin are protest signs that were used at demonstrations against housing shortages in Los Angeles. The interventionist, walk-in and temporarily-visible work In solidarity, your neighborhood becomes a permanent, but "lost work" in the gallery space, which is subsequently painted over with paint and disappears, but has permanently inscribed itself in the palimpsest of the gallery floor.
