'Straitjacket' from Material Poems project. Video 4' | Performance.
On the twenty-fifth floor of the Mies Van Der Rohe buildings on Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, Máximo González found 25 shirts inside a closet hanging one behind the other. The flat was completely empty and the discovery was disquieting. Máximo put them on one by one, as many as could fit his body, buttoned each shirt with the next one, so this process generated a chain that caught and enclosed himself. The video is filmed in that same building from where you can see the skyline of downtown Chicago.
