Motel Hello Hell

2004

Wall Text | Neon | In Situ

The neon work Motel Hello Hell possesses the words Motel and Hello, Motel in blue and Hello in red type characters. The work refers directly to the B-Movies Motel Hell (1980). A sign painted on the external facade of the exhibition building, and inside the space is the neon signcasually leaning against the wall, like an old movie props left in storage. The O, in Hello, flicks on and off, emitting a nervous zzzzzzzzzzz sound.

Commisioned for the exhibition “Planet B’, at the Magazin 4, Bregenz, Austria
