Installed next to where “grof vuil” (big trash) can be put out for collection, Rocket, Rocket, Raft will consist of several painted cardboard boxes covered with the word “color” and other imagery of clouds and water reflections. Public Works aims to challenge the incidental audience’s interpretation of these artifacts and leaves the value judgment to them, whether they interpret the works as trash or as items of significance.
