Vacancies: Registration (2018, collaboration with Fred Schmalz)

An integral part of our project Vacancies—which explores the barriers between hotels’ public and private spaces—is a sculpture that functions as a reception desk, with an embedded artist book. Registration incorporates original writing and text that we appropriated from hotel rules and regulations to imagine a 24-hour hotel visit. Readers are invited to assume the perspectives of guests, hotel workers, and the buildings themselves. Each page represents an hour at the hotel, beginning at 3pm, check-in. Short excerpt below.
