The Wrong PLace

Free (Get A Life):
T-Shirt, rope, motor, video and sound. 2012 – 2014

This shirt displays the words “Get a Life” in the brand label and price tags. A motor elevates the t-shirt 4 mts. above the ground and then rolls it down again repeatedly. A light and a fan activate once the t-shirt touches the ground. A continuous sound made out of the word “Free” from the US national anthem, sang by pop culture celebrities during the yearly Super Bowl (American Football’s yearly tournament) plays loudly in the space.

White Noise:
