Series of Drawings
This series of photographs of demonstrations and marches in Caracas have been digitally altered – the architecture and the cityscape have been sketched out, rendering it more as an ideal or even utopian architectural drawing which recalls the optimistic aesthetics of the collage works from late-60s architectural groups such as Archigram and Superstudio. The language of this moment of utopian architecture with terms such as ‘total urbanization’ and ‘absolute egalitarianism’ is replaced in our sketches with the forceful language of protest and change: ‘The Workers are the Builders of the Country,’ ‘Workers in the Process of Change.’ ‘Bolivarian Workers at the Front of the Revolution.’
By abstracting the architecture, it is reduced from the main texture and structure of the urban territitory, and the citizens – with their signs and banners – are made more vital and central. Representing a transformative urbanism that is both spatial and social, their collective mobilization moves through the urban space, producing the city.


Billboard "The name of our country is America"
The city is a platform for great mobilizations, new claims, and concentrations of the political. With Porto Alegre, Mumbai, Seattle and Genoa cities are not just nodes of global commerce, but are central to a new geography of global politics. This geography breaks the center-periphery model of colonialism, negotiates the urban-rural divide, and creates a new scale for the political. In this geography, Caracas, Venezuela is a vital example of an urban platform that is simultaneously national and global.

The Super Citizen billboard is from a series of digitally altered photographs of pro-Chavez demonstrations and marches in Caracas in 2003. The architecture and modernist cityscape of Caracas is sketched out, rendering it more as an ideal or even utopian architectural drawing which recalls the optimistic aesthetics of the collage works from late-60s architectural groups such as Archigram and Superstudio.

Citizens with their signs and banners are actors in a transformative urbanism that is both spatial and social; in the billboard they move through the abstracted urban space, producing the city.

The billboard quotes the Latin American liberator, Simon Bolivar (1783- 1830): "¡Nuestra Patria se llama América!" ("The name of our country is America"). Today, Venezuela's 'Bolivarian Revolution' continues the spirit of the anti-colonial struggle in contemporary politics through its resistance to neo-liberal globalization.

Super Citizen also refers to a 1987 artwork by Alfredo Jaar. His one-minute video on a Times Square electronic billboard displayed the shape of the USA combined with the text "This is not America".
