Golden standard, 2009, detail
adhesive-backed vinyl map 16 mp, aprox. 100 objects collected from dumping areas, cleaned and covered with golden spray

At this moment the Rahova-Uranus area contains several apparently unguarded, under-construction sites that are temporarily used to dispose garbage. Walking around, I collected different discarded items, that I brought home, cleaned and covered with golden spray paint. I placed these golden objects on the map of the area to investigate, as it looked in its glory days, before the communist demolitions. The visitors were encouraged to choose the object they preferred the most and to take it home as a souvenir. After closing the exhibition I returned the remaining objects back to the place I had found them.
