Working as a duo in public spaces integrating the overlapping fields of art and architecture for us it is also a story about scraping off surfaces, of exposing both: facts and fiction. It is an aspiration about being artistic, social and political at the same time in creating subtle, temporary and invasive statements. We see our work as a reaction, as a comment to different realities we find within cities and societies – as we don’t want to dedicate all issues of public space to those who have money, to those who invest their capital. All too often we leave the design of public space up to those who inscribe their slogans across the numerous advertising surfaces, who project their products, events and feel-good templates onto anything they can use. This should not be tolerated - at least as far as we are concerned. And it is also a story about cracking the relations between principal and agent by not having any contracts: creating, commentating and reinterpreting as a matter of course.
