 shelter 1934 For Optimal User Experience
digital chromogenic print, approx 10.5" x 13.5” $95 What do you do with all the shit from a tent city? There's now a hierarchy among people doing urban camping. The lucky few get into one of the completely illegal and unsanctioned tent cities, which the city clearly says are Very Bad but nevertheless provide portable toilets, some police services, and some public health services. Everyone else is shit out of luck; there are nowhere near enough shelter spaces, and what exists is overcrowded, unhealthy, and dangerous. People who can't get into a tent city hate the people who do, and so go to some lengths to make them look bad; consequently the property crime around tent cities increases considerably until the people in the tent cities decide they need to do something about it, and start their own kind of policing.
