The project explores the politics and ceremony of entrances by rolling out red carpet for everyone. In addition, attendees were greeted by an informal group of paparazzi to document, and question, the status of celebrity along with its malleability.

The project debuted at the Transmodern Festical in Baltimore, MD in 2008 and was commissioned for the Dark Fair at the Kölnischer Kunstverein in Cologne Germany in 2009. Video documentation of the Baltimore iteration.
