This work was created after having observed the inhabitants of New York City for some months. They rarely leave the city, they live in a grid made up of straight lines, and their personal life is conditioned by their careers. This installation is made up of the word EXIT, placed at the sky level, on the windows at the 91st floor of the Twin Towers, the business centre of New York. A video, of the flight of an abstract and ethereal creature, is placed on the ground near a map of the State of New York, with the word EXIT written at the city’s exit routes.A small photograph is displayed on the wall with a text that reveals the relationship with the clouds and other ways of escaping.This work was installed in order to give a magical feeling at first glance. The strong light from the windows is reflected, like a lake, on the map on the floor. Just like in a mirage the word EXIT appears to you slowly from the columns as you keep on observing the installation. As you go deeper into the installation the provocative aspect becomes evident.
