Manifesto: The Language & The City comprises LED and neon lighting, lightboxes, and wooden signage. By collecting and recreating the street signs of Riyadh, I was able to condenses the city to its visual culture and architectural language. In this way, the work becomes an artistic manifesto of the city. I do believe that a city absorbs its identity from the language of its residents. Their words define the names and component parts of its landscapes, and by this process a site becomes an identity, a narrative, and a biographical backdrop for each inhabitant.#biennale.
