LOCALHOST shows a standardized internet error message stating that an image named “me_BIG.jpg” could not be found. The directory describes values I personally believe in but which sometimes are hard to live by. Especially today, these values are challenged by society and interpreted differently in each country. Keeping in mind that values vary from place to place and from person to person, the piece works like a graffiti in progress and invites the viewers to participate and interact.
