The “Empty land” work leads us to reflect on the issue of value in the public space. What makes an existing space called empty space? What makes a place busy? How much history is there in an unoccupied place? The squares and public spaces are usually built to assess the historical events related to the place occupied. When a space is considered ’empty’, it does not meet some value requirements. The intervention of Tito Senna seeks to draw our attention to the unbuilt space, without value, but it exists! – And deserves to be contemplated and gain meaning. The work of “Empty Land” seeks to fill the void, create a neutral milestone that claims the existence of the place. Give the viewer the opportunity to create an identification with the environment in which he walks. The flag is the symbol of a territory, symbolically summarizes a place and generates identity. The artist appropriates this resource, producing a colorless flag and shape that propose the construction of a local history. With this, the work is filled with meaning by the spectators in the construction of affection with the place. The flag is not full of colors, but of meanings generated by the viewer’s reflection on space.
