The Great Unreal #9 @AssemblyCurated

In 2005 we stumbled over a shooting range in the middle of the desert. Years later we tried to find the place but not even the local gun clubs could help us find it. That car-cass would have made an amazing ready made sculpture..

One of those unforgettable Moments: Just when we've rebuilt a complete Motelroom Reproduction in the Alabama swamps, two halfdrunk Hunters appear out of the bush and slowly walk away without saying a single word.

Being on the road in the US means you'll stay in Motelrooms from time to time. In order not to be swallowed up by those desperate spaces, we turned them into surreal studios..

At the very end of our Journey we finally found the broken street we were looking for all this time. And somewhere in the van we still had yellow paint from the Hardware Shop...

There's not a lot to be said about Reno...just that it is a confirmation of the All American Proverb: Truth is Stranger than Fiction.

@AssemblyCurated The Great Unreal #23
We made a huge collection of American Houses, among them this one in post-Katrina New Orleans (you can still see the marks). Later they became part of a large scale museum installation called "Growhomes".

#24 picked up by @AlphaTrilogy✌️
Joel Sternfeld's "After a Flash Flood" was always on our mind as one of the great visual metaphors for the American West. We built several versions of the Abyss and moved it around for weeks until we found the right spot.

THE GREAT UNREAL #8
When we found a tire dump in the desert outside Vegas, we wanted to re-animate the tires and make them run through the landscape like a herd of buffalos..It took a lot of sweat and a trigger-mechanism, that would make MacGyver blush.

While driving for endless days and weeks across the continent in 2005, we kept staring at the triangle in front of us: the street. At some point, we thought we might as well install it in front of our camera lens..

Over the next few days we'll share some BTS images and small stories from THE GREAT UNREAL, specifically the NFTs currently available on @AssemblyCurated... hope you'll enjoy it!
