PARAFONT
PARAFONT
(Tbilisi), 2007, is a series of working prototypes. Using
water pumps, four 55-gallon oil drums are modified into "parasitic
fountains." Interrupting their normal circulation, the
make-shift fountains are continuously drawing water from (and
depositing back into) four different neo-traditional fountains
along the Rustaveli in central Tbilisi. PARAFONT (Tbilisi)
reflects
the interconnection between the luxury that the European style
fountains represent and Georgia's positioning the transference
of oil from the East to the West.
