Manifest Destiny! is a temporary rustic cabin occupying one of the last remaining unclaimed spaces of downtown San Fransisco - above and between other properties. The tiny cabin can be seen affixed to the side of the Hotel des Arts, floating above the restaurant Le Central like an anomalous outgrowth of the cintemporary streetscape. Using a 19th-century architectural style and vintage building materials, the structure is both homage to the romantic spirit of the Western Myth and a commentary on the arrogance of the Westward expansion. The interior space of the tiny house can be seen day and night through the curtained windows, a lonely beacon in the city;s dense landscape, and an incongruous, haunting vision from below. The installation will remain in place and be slowly transformed by the elements through October 2012.
