Bodily Space
A Practice of Spatial Practice #7
2020
We leave innumerable traces behind on everyday space through repetitive activities in our awake. Each trace illustrates the information about one's own history, such as habitual activity or patterns of spatial use; which represents the relationship between space and everyday activity. These works demonstrated various spatial experiences, as a means to provide not only a bodily understanding of space but also social relations that are the fabric of ordinary life.
The work does not simply show the space reinterpreted through everyday activities in an architectural form. The reinterpreted floor provide a kind of performative stage where myself and the audience themselves become a performer, leaving traces patterns of spatial use; it informs spatial typologies.
There are two platforms; the floor, produced in a traditional way, where the traces left behind irreversibly over a long term; and the floor, created through smart material and electronic device where the traces left immediately in a reversible way.
