Taxes Pay For What? - An Urban Action

Another successful day for our Daily Slots. Sunday April 8th 11 am in the morning. I go to the laundromat across the street from my house to change a 10 dollars bill in quarters. When I get to City Hall plaza Eliza is already there, by one of the newspaper stands. She is organizing the letters by words so that it will be easier for us to place them in the newspaper stands. We've done this many times but there is always excitement. It's Farmer's Market day so a lot of people walk around with their veggies. We start opening the stands and placing our letters inside. Some people stop to watch us, a few of them take photos of the action. They can read TAXES PAY FOR WHAT?






Daily Slots. Corner of Van Ness and Mcallister, San Francisco

Daily Slots is an ongoing collaboration project between Paz de la Calzada and Eliza Barrios. It started in 2010 when after observing the obsolete newspaper stands around the city we decided to reuse them by sending bi-weekly messages.
