From mid-May to early June 2002, Carolina Caycedo will be traveling through Vienna with a delivery truck. As in her earlier projects and actions, Caycedo develops temporary, mobile "markets" for organizing her life on the basis of non-monetary exchanges.

For bartering and exchanging, she uses both the delivery truck and the Internet: in anticipation of the project, a separate platform has been set up on the Secession homepage for personal exchanges and discussions on alternative forms of economy.

Live in public space or online through a form, Caycedo offers a multitude of goods and services, as well as a list of what she needs for daily life. For example, Caycedo offers passers-by right on the street a new look in a temporary beauty salon, in exchange for ...? That has yet to be negotiated.

Day to Day is based on the concept of places as "Temporary Autonomous Zones - TAZ" (Hakim Bey). These are proposals for "utopian realities", which elude control by politics, religion and economy and their predominant mechanisms.

In 1998, as a member of the "Colectivo Cambalache" in Bogota, Caycedo founded the Street Museum, a constantly changing collection of bartered objects. Like the Street Museum, Day to Day is also a mobile vehicle, a theater for communication about informal economy.

The official launch of the action is on 16 May 2002 in the Secession. There will be a lounge party with the artist beginning at 7:00 p.m.
