YOU ARE HERE, 2007
city wide installation, BOSTON
Screen Printed stickers, 8" x 10"
The urban silhouette is, in itself, an advertisement for and an icon of the city form. Artistic portrayals of the city traditionally glamorize and idealize the skyline, composing a panoramic profile of the side of the landscape that matters the most for formal and representative purposes. The architecture of a city functions, even from a distance, as an identifier for a city’s inhabitants.
The decals created for use in this project illustrate an augmented version of Boston’s skyline, which highlights the most recognized architectural landmarks. The decals have been placed outside the hub of the city, but still within view of the predominant architecture. They are intended to encourage whoever may come across them to locate themselves to the iconic architecture that defines the city.
