The possession of Space
Possession of space within the financial district of London can
be associated with the pursuit of control over the built
environment by installing a corporate trophy landscape, where
the sense of a cultural, social environment is all but eradicated.
The work aims to reinterpret our physical position within space,
in an area of a city that should be called ‘public space’. It
focuses on using new body-positions to discretely violate the
institutional posturing of the city (body) language, destabilizing
its formality.
By using an entirely different set of body forms to create a
different (body) language, we exercise our right to inhabit
space, our freedom to move and intervene as we wish, without
demands being implied or enforced.
