At the NMAC of Mentenmedio in Andalusia (Spain), Cattelan installed a big road sign in the middle of a meadow. The pannel becomes, at times, an extraordinary funerary monument:
"81 accidents - 14 killed - 2 injured have occured on this site".
It transmits something terrible because of its incongruity and unlikelihood, taking into account the scarce - and even inexistent - traffic in this place.
Maurizio imagina un panneau en aluminium où on pouvait lire:
"Ici ont eu lieu: 81 accidents, 14 morts, 2 blessés."
Ce travail fut présenté l'année passée au NMAC de Mentenmedio en Andalousie (Espagne).
