The Coral Snake from Arizona is known as one the most venimous snakes in the world. It has the exact same colours as the Belgian flag, symbol of our national identity. Other snakes have the same colours but in a different order. This inventive mimicry has given birth to some popular American proverbs that Potential Estate has translated into a floor design. For the occasion Potential Estate has translated the colors of the snake into a black & white version through the application of the official heraldic code.

The snake floor reminds us of a playground provoking an interaction between an open-ended construction game and native American initiation rites. This game with no rules sets the tone for all Potential Estate references and positions in Cabinet Jurino (Texas City and Aby Warburg, Scanlan’s Monthly (a gonzo magazine) and the ghost dance, the mud museum and the coral snake, …) emptying themselves in a ruleless mix of different codes.
