The Artwork: American Dream

 

American Dream involves the intervention of some buildings within the urban area where Espacios Revelados takes place, focusing mostly in Yungay District. Through a poetic gesture of displacement of an object, the artist seeks to imbue a new meaning to the actual architectonic presence of the buildings, also inviting people to reflect on its message.
