Power Toilets / UNESCO

La obra se refiere a la inclusión de Gwangju en el Registro de la Memoria del Mundo de UNESCO.

Danish artist group Superflex's Power Toilets address the inclusion of Gwangju into the UNESCO Memory of the World Register. Superflex have replaced a run-down public toilet in Gwangju with a new toilet which —in its interior— is an exact copy of the exclusive toilet used by the Executive Board of the UNESCO headquarters in Paris. While maintaining the semblance of a normal public toilet, the structure also engages its users in questioning the relationship between original and copy, exclusivity and inclusivity, and, ultimately, the infrastructures of power and everyday uses. Power Toilets/UNESCO is designed in close collaboration with NEZU AYMO architects.
