Let them eat cake!

Graphic design and performance

This project examines the process of gentrification in the Nusle district, focusing on the contemporary housing crisis and the language through which this issue is framed in public discourse.

The result is a large-scale graphic work employing the historical metaphor of the phrase “Let them eat cake,” which, through irony, empty data structures, and a deliberately chosen medium, addresses the absurdity of contemporary neoliberal discourse about housing crisis.
