Without having a specific idea, me and my companion Stefan Nauert wanted to do some arty work in one of those impressive, empty buildings in Amsterdam’s business park Zuidas. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get closer than to the front desk. They were really strict and only people with permission were allowed to enter the upper floors, of course.
Nevertheless, this wasn’t a reason to give in. If we couldn’t get into the building, someone with a permission had to do the job for us. So, we came up with the idea to write a text in huge letters, which asked the people on the upper floors to take a picture of it. The letters were made of tape and to make them bolder they were double breasted. It perfectly worked. We received over a dozen of images from different floors and without even entering the building.
