materials: laser-cut insulation foam, paper chipboard, wall drawing

In this installation, thousands of components made from insulation foam are layered one on top of another, forming a dense pink thicket. Associated with the building industry, the foam serves as the substrate from which silhouettes of road-side signs, highway pylons, parking lot trees and other peripheral roadside structures are cut. These assemble in a heap from floor to ceiling, sometimes revealing the manufacturer's imprint as fragments of red text. Burnt-edged paperboard constructions wrap from the edges of the glowing city.
