Throughout the North Beach District of San Francisco, there are Italian flags painted on every lampost on main streets such as Columbus, Stockton, Green, etc. One morning the residents and visitors to the neighborhood awoke to find that the majority of these had been changed to "Quasi-Mexican flags" (Mexican flags, but with the center seal upside down). Though our major concern was with creating a sudden optical ambiguity in the landscape that was best viewed by looking down the length of any of these streets, others interpreted this project as a comment on the situation of immigrant workers in the kitchens of the touristy Italian restaurants that clog Columbus street. Still others made broader leaps as to the nature of San Francisco's neighborhoods and their close proximity, and the simulation of a "mini-Italy" with a tourist-friendly candy coating. These views are neither denied nor endorsed by the ZENITH FOUNDATION or it's public relations staff. Either way they lasted for about 6 months before someone took them all down.
