Drown the White House!
2024
Model in a fishtank on wooden plinth with water resistant loudspeaker
The White House will be enclosed in a glass fish tank that covers its 18 acre grounds and towers at 100 ft tall. Then it will be drowned through any means necessary including, but not limited to, the utilization of VLAT fire fighting planes delivering water from nearby sources 8,000 gallons at a time over the course of 48,000 flights. 386,491,840 gallons of water will contain the polished architecture and manicured gardens creating an obfuscation between the world outside and within. 789 underwater speakers will be installed throughout the perimeter of the tank and will play the audio of the disenfranchised and burning voices of self, and otherwise, immolated victims of the genocide in Gaza. In order to listen to their voices you must press your ear up on the glass where the pressure of the water will serve to deliver the acoustics of these burning people.
