"Dis-cover (El Yunque Rainforest, Río Grande)" |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Project Description The "Dis-cover" project was a site-specific intervention in the New York City Subway System which appropriated a Puerto Rico Tourism Company's advertising campaign that depicted an idyllic island paradise. Utilizing black and white decals the interventions restored four moments of colonial intervention in the island's history from the landing of Columbus to the occupation of Vieques by the U.S. military. Applied in guerilla fashion, the decals restore a layer of history hidden underneath the beautiful advertisement asking you to "Discover why Puerto Rico does it better". The series exists as four archival photographic documentations mounted on sintra. |
