Our goal as historians was to\u00a0create a space which invited people\u00a0to not only experience the new space it established and re-evaluate that which it was built within, but to share and contribute to it as well. It was through this give and take that we hoped to, in our own way,\u00a0subvert\u00a0its surrounding environment, which is primarily dominated by personal histories that are hinted at from the exterior but\u00a0always guarded.<\/p>\n

Our structure was simple, yet strong. Its thin steel bars and precarious wooden frames gave the piece a delicate quality, yet it survived rain, wind and lightning. It\u00a0was physically open enough to be inviting to people passing by, while also\u00a0providing a home-y intimacy. This is why the piece is relevant to psychogeography, as it disrupts what would normally be a space to pass by on the way to another destination, and allows\u00a0people to experience the space from a different view.\u00a0At the same time, through the system of leaving objects \/ drawings, it also invites\u00a0people to glimpse the accumulative history of our created\u00a0space, giving hints as to the individuals who have left their mark there. This\u00a0affects one’s phenomenological understanding of a place, allowing you to be temporarily conscious of the\u00a0invisible histories of individuals long gone from the area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
