Poetry. "In this unsentimental good-riddance to the city of Walter Benjamin, Fitterman assumes the role of the new flaneur, virtually ambling through the harrowingly dislocated psychographic landscape of the new metropolis. The once-glorious walls of the arcades have crumbled, leaving us only miles of aisles and infinite portals"--Kenneth Goldsmith. METROPOLIS 16-29 is the second installation in Fitterman's version of the modern project: the Temple built from memory, the city built from words. And since we're cruising here, the language is largely about food and anxiety, desire and escape. "your organization's top priorities. Why is the window of a jail / the toughest challenge you currently face in your job?"
