Fixing a Novel by Removing All the Adjectives
2014 — Polished brick, Dammar varnish
Produced with the support of the Canada Council. Special thanks to Takt Berlin.
In the cellar beneath a building in Friedrichshain, Germany, a single brick has been smoothed, polished and varnished. The work's ambiguity underscores a reality of all Berlin basements, by giving form to the secret, anonymous histories buried in the city's underground.
