Union des États

Installation and performance — 2009–2018 · Selected works

Conceived for the 2010 Dakar Biennial, Union des États imagines a fictional nation-state, complete with a national anthem, a currency — the mori — and one ambition: to replace existing institutions. The project questions the reality, usefulness, and workings of political and economic institutions.
