The Sky Is Thin As Paper Here...

The Sky Is Thin As Paper Here... — Plot

'The Sky Is Thin As Paper Here...' (Kunsthaus Graz Remix, 2005) by Cerith Wyn Evans is yet another attempt at mapping out the potentiality of BIX façade as a particular site of spectacle within the performative architecture of the Kunsthaus Graz. Inspired by a novel 'The Place of Dead Roads' by William S. Burroughs, and in collaboration with Luis Augusto Pecora Marques Pinto, São Paulo-based musician and DJ, this complex project combines literary reference with a polyphonic musical score and results in a beyond-architectural, sophisticated edifice of sound and light, as well as an image and a text. 'The Sky is Thin As Paper Here...' enters urban space as both an imaginary projection and a real challenge for perceptive agencies.
