The Escape Route’s Design: Assessment of the impact of current Aesthetics on History, comparative reading of an example close to the city of Berlin (with Mariana Silva) is a rethorical proposal in the shape of an essay/ artist book (offered in exhibition). It has afterwards been reedited in E-flux Journal #6.

Written and produced in collaboration with Mariana Silva, The Escape Route’s Design stages a dialogue between the incomplete projects in Ilya Kabakov’s installational works and the series of attempts at crossing the Berlin Wall from East to West from 1960-1089. Through this dialogue the supposition of an already made realization of the proposals made by Ilya Kabakov, most specifically in ‘The Palace of Projects’, by way of the historical events occurred at the Berlin Wall, is advanced.

Given the aesthetic revision of these historical events, it is proposed the consideration / proposal of a ready-made historical utopia, as well as, through a temporal synapses between art and life, the supposition of a invisible revolution already given in the past.
