Pawilon IV reflects on the queue as a social structure created by the shortage of essential products on a national scale. For this, the artist steps out of the landscape and observes the composition from above. An aerial view of the pawilon occupies the top half of the central panel, superimposed on the grid of a book of ration stamps. Long, snaking lines form from all corners of the landscape, crossing a rough topography of insulation foam and transferred images of the local map, converging on the small entrance of the supermarket. If the queue is an imposed form of social structure, the artist also remembers a counter-culture developing during the hours spent in line: people meeting, exchanging information, discussing their collective situation and sharing advice for survival.
