Braegger and Crawford’s duo booth is part backstage, part street, part urban cliché, a microcosm of its own, filled with exaggerated and stylized characters. Crawford’s hurried businessmen, rebellious punks, and disillusioned artists merge with Braegger’s wearable, prop-like hybrid furniture and talking, method-acting mannequins. They will inhabit the booth, left behind, forgotten, challenging the public to view city life as a continuous act of role-playing and self-referentiality.
