>> Nov 2012, What needs to be guarded?
collaboration with Raul Walch, Addis Abeba, Ethiopia
A mobile structure was made by Solomon Tsegaye and Raul Walch, mimicking the numerous guard houses that one sees on the streets of Addis Abeba. For “What needs to be guarded?” the structure was carried around the city one afternoon, asking passersby that very question. Answers ranged from ‘life’, ‘water’ and ‘myself’ to ‘information’, ‘democracy’ and ‘the guard’.
