Rat talk.
Commentary on the confluence of and divergence between naturally and artificially induced semiotic impressions in the urban landscape. In this case, literally.
Vast implications on the human experience. Questions arise surrounding the prevalence of false identification in constructed landscapes. Where nature sees squirrels, history sees rats. Where flying rats see salvation, physics sees concrete. Where residents see nuisance, admirers enact ritual meaning; We Who Take The Rat For What It Could Be. Where else might we observe such incongruence?
The rat impresses itself on the human experience much as the individual walks among grand machines of logic. Overlooked, the product of systemic indifference. And yet in one simple motion the façades crumble as our sunken relief friend, rat-like, produces in its own form an icon which begets infinite thought.
TO BE: a rat hole in the city. TO BE: an image of a rat, so perceived. TO NOT BE: a squirrel; thus understood. TO BE AND NOT BE: the height of intertangled human-rat experience.
