About work

Adela is an overlarge freely-growing street sign houseplant. It tempts

socially weaker citizens towards it in a way similar to plants tempting

insects with sweet pollen.

The street offers many different colorful betrayals and lies. These plastic

plants lure people from afar, but upon their arrival they are met

with poverty and warnings of treachery and destruction, comprised

mainly of the blinking signs of dirty all-night bars, casinos, nightclubs,

and even homeless people and pigeons.

Technical Details:

Comprised of plastic bottles, plexiglas + front and back projection

Exhibition 5+kk especially for the Trafo gallery in the collective studio

Trafacka. The theme of the April 2007 Exhibition was street and interior.
