II

To continue the Downfall project at the end of the exhibition I took all the objects from the installation and placed them in various historical sites of Rome and a few other cities.  Over three hundred objects were deposited in sixty-three different locations. I wanted the wondering tourist to take a double look at the objects that they would find at the historical site, questioning what history and consumption meant in everyday encounters with the aesthetic use of the Roman ruin.
