Abstract [en]
9 actions - Sensoric measures for eternal efficiency is a project negotiating with the consequences of modernist urban planning and its infrastructure which has produced phenomenons like “non-places”, places which neither become or are used according to the procedure of care that our public spaces require. Situated within this idea, I establish a methodology which is formulated as an eternal site analysis, which showcases the process as total and in constant transition, a perspective that rather than becoming an dogma aims to question the raised methodology in relation to site and the analysis within the field of interior architecture.
The methodologies aim to embody the sequence of time and space, to bodily engage our senses and re-evaluate the relation to the surrounding environment. This is captured in 9 actions inspired by methods within performance, architecture and installation art. The sequence is examined with different mediums, such as filmmaking, drawings, 3d scans, diagrams, sound recordings, photographs and various other interpretations. A compilation of these acts emphasizes the importance of the methodology of the process and its ability to reconfigure.
Concluded and executed at Konstfacks Spring exhibition 2021, visitors were invited to interact with a selection of actions examined during the project. Described below, 3 of the exhibited sequences: “REPET Workshop”; as an act of instruction to understand and question the bodily configuration of normative behaviours in relation to sites. “Pedestrian Measures”; a documented act where the participant was dressed in a reflective apparatus in order to experience irregularities hidden in the spatial hierarchy of sites - as fields of perceived space. “Den gemensamma kroppen”; A collective act, pronounced as the common body of the space. An installation where visitors were invited to dress and interact bodily to engage full focus. A reflective action configuring the use of the body and its sensory abilities in context of common spatial production.
