SUPERFLEX developed The Bank as new public space on Bank Street in Sharjah after many of the banks originally situated there have left for more lucrative locations. The work regarded memories and stories as the capital of the street; people from the area were asked to nominate specific city objects — such as benches, trees, playgrounds and signage from other countries — that represent incredible stories or vague memories. The objects were either reproduced as 1:1 replicas or bought and transported to the site.
