Installation aftermath.

Lying on the ground looking up, during the day. / Lying on the ground looking up, at night (with the flash on).
I never got the constellations to glow, because the only night I was in the lot things ended before it was completely dark and so I didn’t charge them up with a light. The flash shows off the psychotic, invisible, fishing line structure I built to support the tape stars, though. De-installing later this week. What do I do with a 12'x15’ swath of the sky?
Spending all my weekends hanging out with a cat in a vacant lot in Bushwick, stringing fishing line between two buildings, 12’ up. It’s been an exercise in patience. Today, I start installing constellations.

This is about a year and a half old. I just found the scan. This was “inspired by” a children’s book I did in terrible German for my high school German class, Geleebeinebaby. In the book, they travel to Geleeland and when they go swimming all die Mädchens gelee washes off and they get caught by die andere Geleevolk. Geleebeinebabys vati, Geleebeine, sends the girl back to the real world–but everyone there is made of gelee! My German has only gotten more atrocious.
