Pretty Vacant (#2)
‘Pretty Vacant’ by Martijn Sandberg consists of a light greenish phosphorescent figuration on a white aluminium panel. The text ‘We’re Pretty Vacant’ refers to a Sex Pistols song.
After illumination, the loaded sentence glows in the dark and then slowly fades until it is ‘empty’ again; zero content.
