Heavy Trash installs viewing platforms

“On April 24, 2005, Heavy Trash volunteers deposited bright orange viewing platforms in front of three Los Angeles gated communities; Brentwood Circle, Park La Brea and Laughlin Park … Like the historic viewing platforms at the Berlin Wall that allowed Westerners to see into East Berlin, the Heavy Trash viewing platforms call attention to the walls of gated communities and provide visual access to parts of the city that have been cut off from the public domain.”

Also: Forest Grove Estates, a 1/8 inch scale gated community and “a place where security is guaranteed and happiness is the freedom to be exactly the same.”
