LENA USALA
Aluminium scaffoldings covered with white polyester screens promise the never-ending desire for city renewal. Streetscapes are filled with blank canvasses, structured by these steel rods. They invite to play a game. What to show, what to hide? Which lines do I follow, which ones do I ignore? I decided to add some colour. A piece of the screen was removed, and with it a piece of the mystery. It resulted in a graphic image, or maybe a work of scenography.
I plan on continuing this project.
