A
single arm with a hand at either end is stretching from wall to
wall. Is the arm pushing the walls apart? Is it holding them up?
...stopping them from falling down? Or are the walls propping up
the arm?
An
interdependent relationship between the morcelated body and space
is created. Neither can exist without the other. The architectural
space in the video acts at the same time as a cell and as a dividing
wall from the noise of the city outside.I have recently come across
the term legendary psychastenia, which describes a condition of
schizophrenia, where a person identifies with the space to such
an extent that they start to believe they are the space they occupy.
This condition is a good metaphor for my interest in the relationship
between the individual and the environment and for how sometimes
the limits between our environment and us become blurred.
