This text follows åyr's experience in producing I'd Rather Be Outside (2017). The installation is composed of a series of 3D-printed concrete elements that form a landscape of domestic rooms, where each element spells out a word and each room becomes the fragment of a poem. On this occasion, åyr also invited Martha Rosler to exhibit her work Housing Is a Human Right, an animated billboard critiquing the alarming increase in homelessness in the United States, originally installed on Times Square by the artist in 1989.
