How can we take care of each other at arm’s length? How can we engage in dynamic placemaking that is rooted in spontaneous partnership? How do we intentionally navigate our landscapes collectively and practically?
We fall into these actions everyday: folding and unfolding into public spaces, flowing through ephemeral borders, unconsciously performing place-based choreographies, reciting memory maps to self or to other.
We all become cartographers of shared space. Through deliberate movement experiments and staged interventions I begin to expand this notion. Turning to lakes, rivers, parks, highways, fences, construction, and desire paths as information. Approaching these intimate networks with the shared experience of having a body; where the inner and outer meet.
FEEDBACK_ from Amina
Deeper into my thoughts, and easier to actually understand
It is not formal, and too far out
Accommodating in the approach to language
The city could come before, and integrate that idea sooner in the text, it needs to be more general. Eventually, we lost the word completely.
Opening with something different, “are we taking care of each other?” Is the how the right beginning
Or reframe the questions into statements
