ARCHITECTURE AEROBICS

2018

Artist book

Satirical architectural manifesto proposing a revolution instigated by turning the arches of the world upside down. Consisting of a manifesto text, lyrics to a revolutionary workers’ song and digital collages using found images, it plays on the multiple meanings of the word ‘arch’ to propose a capitalist fantasy of borderlessness, anti-monumentality and labour-as-exercise.
