Medium
• In situ public installation. Photodocumentation of street sign.

Intent
• The piece has to do with the way that we often talk about Heaven and Hell. We talk about them as actual places like Australia or Oregon. We have so much information and documentation of them yet nobody can go there, nobody can point to them, nobody has seen them. This project is an attempt to validate these places by making them feel ordinary and closer to us through mundane signage.

The Work
• Status
- Complete

• Formally the sign is a cruciform and sits at the intersection of two streets. The sign is both literal and figurative. In Mircea Eliade's book, The Sacred and Profane, he defines a sacred place as a place that is marked, bound, and identifiable. As opposed to a profane place, which he would describe as amorphous, boundless, and unidentifiable. It is the difference between space and place. According to this definition this intersection can be considered a sacred place. I don't know why this is important but it seems to have some significance.

Go To Heaven

Go To Hell

•The sign is easily mounted on top of an existing stop sign or street pole.
