suckerPUNCH: Describe your project.

evita FANOU & nathan HOOFNAGLE: At the edge of the city, exactly where the city meets the air, is it possible to build the impossible perfect city of Aristophanes? This city, like a thick folding cloud distorts reality, like Alice in Wonderland, using it to support the ethereal fiction. Like a vessel this cloud of particles is a cloud, a formless system, based on movement and friction. It is a fog, a blurry border that entices the viewer and provokes their desire to touch it. At the edge of the city is the loop that traps you inside, a space one never wants to leave. It looks elegant and desirable; people breath the air of this ephemeral atomosphere. Upon this each breadth, they become part of its fiction.
