The installations in Pisa and New York's Central Park both use newspapers local to their geo-context. In Pisa, Tuscan newspapers were measured and wrapped by weight with a label attached – 5000 grams of political news. “As information is interpretation for me, calculating the truth in newspapers in relation to their weight becomes a form of interpretation.”

In New York local papers were laid out in a circular form. “The circular shape expressed the idea of recycling news. I am fascinated by the fact that events always repeat themselves: only people's names, places, and dates change. The word ‘news' is a linguistic, utopian trick: each letter indicates a compass point. Only power centers are able to censor news: they have a monopoly on disinformation.”

Quotes from an interview with Ivana Keser by Christophe Cherix for the publication, ‘Local News. 1993-2003'
