CROX 108 instalraam, CROXHAPOX Gent '03
The basis
for this project is a fictive story. An under-developed country, the 'Predemocratic
Republic' which is an archipelago of over 300 islands in the Gulf of Guinea
is offered for sale in the EU to pay off its debts at IMF and to democratize.
For this, the project is developed into 3 actions:
1. An (closed) embassy of
the Predemocratic Republic was set up in Gent (Belgium)
2. A letter was sent to most embassies of western countries in Brussels including
an extensive factsheet which defines the Predemocratic Republic and press
releases. download pdf
3. A poster announced the
sale-offer in public.
