Andrea Booker's recent works are reclaimed from demolished or refurbished buildings in Manchester and Salford. Given the title of its address of origin, the piece is appropriated to form a subliminal comment or statement in response to our co-existence with the urban environment. The project aims at highlighting our awareness of social conditioning, and the subsequent ghettoised communities, cities incur from a process of regeneration. The pieces, humanized through text, displace the conventional meaning it professes, and offers different meanings and parodies in relation to our own ‘displacements’ of identity, conveyed through the urban landscape and architectural consequence.
