Real space

FIRST INTERVENTION

for my first intervention I was inspired by Doris Salcedo works. I liked her idea of putting furniture in the most random spot to generate discomfort for the viewer.

I chose the bathroom because a lot of us see that space as a place of relaxation, privacy and peace. I wanted the space to be unbearable so I had a table set up for two, cause deep down nobody wants to eat their dinner in the bathroom with a faceless figure watching.

SECOND INTERVENTION

I went a different route this time instead of furniture being in a weird space bringing discomfort, I wanted to bring calmness to a room by adding an object that represents that emotion.

I went with the kitchen, specifically the sink area because it’s the most hectic part of our house and washing dishes isn’t something that’s enjoyable or calming. I always feel tense and fidgety whenever I’m doing the dishes, so I decided to juxtapose that with something that calms me down.

I just kept making and adding on origami cranes until I started to become twitchy, just like when I’m washing the dishes. Overall this was a great little task my mum did say that the cranes distracted her which made cleaning the dishes a little less tiring.
