installation made for ‹grafik12› exhibition in zurich. an oversized black helium balloon got hand painted with white letters. the sentence ‹too big to fail› can only be read by circling the piece - and has afterwards reached its self-referred statement.

the project refers to the usage of the sentence "too big to fail" in economic and financial policy. while trying to install the balloon in front of the headquarters of ‹UBS› and ‹credit suisse›, it was assassinated in cold blood by the police of zurich.
