My SUV weighs more than your doubts

“My SUV weighs more than your doubts” begins from a Google Maps satellite image: an urban parking lot seen from above. A real, ordinary scene, enlarged until it becomes an installed landscape. The photograph, precise and impersonal, is placed on the ground and forces the audience to walk around it along a fixed perimeter, with no possibility of crossing directly. The space is familiar, yet estranging: entire portions of the city devoted exclusively to immobile objects. The automobile, long an emblem of freedom and movement, appears here in its most common (yet rarely thematized) condition: immobility. The work thus becomes a kind of atlas of urban stasis, where the rational geometry of planning meets the aesthetics of inactivity. An iconography of the infinite parking lot, of absent presence, of bulk turned into normality. In the middle of the path, a road sign laid on the ground adds an ironic touch, reminding us of the unresolved tension between the individual desire for ownership and the collective costs that follow.
