Ester Partegàs's homeless is an exact replica of an airplane chair constructed entirely out of paper and Styrofoam, employing found disposables and emblazoned with corporate logos. Meant as a tribute to our transient lifestyles, the piece acts as a certain social commentary of a disposable society in which economy of use and purpose are as tantamount as image and identity. The title references a new phenomenon -- modern corporate entrepreneurs globally navigating a commercial terrain -- but nevertheless, alludes to the very polar opposite -- the true "Homeless".
Her curated project "I don't know if you feel the same but . . ." was featured in issue #14 of zingmagazine, and she contributed the third poster to the zingmagazine poster series "Detours (Some days, I Feel So Worthless)", in zingmagazine #17.
