Cape Town: Start/Fin(n)ish
Site specific projects in Cape Town
1) The Castle of Good Hope - the Dutch fortress with Table Mountain in the background - sets the scene. The cement mixers form a legion that gyrates seductively. Music Concrete is an alternative soundtrack to the urban sprawl.
2) C-units: Pirate ships off the coast of Blaauwbergstrand. These sea unit apartments are being built on protected dune area.....bad taste with a view.
3) Rest in Peace is a makeshift graveyard made out of estate agent signboards in Durbanville - another Afrikaans suburb of cluster housing, microwave dinners and nuclear families.

Save the Cape Arrow
Albeit by suggestion, our aim is to SAVE THE CAPE ARROW by putting Cape ’07 on the international map and raising awareness of this endangered species.
Afrikan Tahti: Diggin for Gold is a treasure hunt through the city of Rauma. The route is marked by Cape 07 arrows recycled from the first (and possibly last) large-scale visual arts event for Southern Africa. Lack of resources and sponsorship turned the event into a largely Capetonian affair and left artists "digging for gold" to fund creative output.

The Cape ’07 Arrows
We are collecting the CAPE 07 signs at the moment. We have turned it into a little campaign: "Save the CAPE arrow".It has proved quite difficult to get the signs back. They have been quite popular. Most were stolen or given away as keepsakes.
