Trailer for the documentary No, Global Tour.
For the last few years Santiago Sierra has moved from project to project, and from country to country, doing site and situation specific works.
In an attempt to slow down the pace of his practice, while gathering all the elements peculiar to his work in a single piece, Sierra developed a formal unit that could be adapted to a variety of contexts and still be effective.
At a syntactic level, he had to devise a shape which kept its power in any given environment, while ensuring that it was able to point out and magnify specific surroundings. On the other hand, and at a semantic level, the work had to be understandable in as many contexts as possible.
