This project documents a series of riots between the inhabitants of Diar echems (Houses of the Sun) district in Algiers and the police which took place in October 2009. The violence erupted followingthe intervention of security forces. The order came to evacuate makeshift shacks built on a football pitch adjacent to the city. The harsh conditions and lack of space in the small dwellings of this overcrowded city pushed the inhabitants to occupy the municipal stadium, they attempted to eventually transform it into an asylum.

This space which existed as a playing field has become a location of contest. The post-it notesarranged on the light table, list accounts of items that can be contained in precarious housing and the number of people who can live in the space. It suggests a potential plan that could have been built on the ground of a football pitch. Installed on the wall are nine fictional press clippings with the same text, created from reports after the events. On each one the text was hidden by tape leaving only a few words or sentences; pieces that evoke the space and people. The absence of representations refers to a disorder and encourages personal interpretations of home.
