Rickys Resort | Rickysroom

Over time, the resort grew its own mythology. Ricky’s Resort is where Ricky imagines he goes when he falls asleep in his room. It’s the dream he doesn’t tell anyone about. The pool is always warm. The mini-fridge is always stocked with off-brand cola. The elevators play Kenny G on infinite loop. And every hallway leads back to the same suite, which looks suspiciously like… Ricky’s Room.

A few artists have merged the two into a single installation: Ricky’s Room Resort —a hotel room that is also a prison cell. The bed is made of cardboard. The “ocean view” is a 14-inch CRT playing a VHS of a wave. The resort keycard opens a lock on the inside of the door. rickysroom rickys resort
