Town Sign

Photography and installation.
“Welcome to the Neighborhood” Askeaton Contemporary Arts, Askeaton, Ireland, August, 2006.


This piece was initiated as a call to all citizens of a small Irish town (by local media and word of mouth) to participate in a group photograph to be used for a new sign installed at either entrance to the town.

Installation with text
“Fatti e finzioni della venusta isola di San Servolo in Venezia” Exhibition as part of artLAB artist residency on San Servolo Island, Venice, IT, 2006.


An alcove of the laundry room of a former insane asylum is occupied with a new wall, rendering it autonomous from the rest of the building. Bunk beds from the facilities are installed with lamps. The door leading into the space is left open and unlocked permanently. A ramp leading to the door has written on it in non-slip material, in English and Italian: “Access to the work happens under the direct responsibility of the visitor”
