During our visit to Esplanade, we passed through an avenue of trees where Florence our guide explained was a space where homeless people are known to take refuge for the night. This space interested me since my work explores the notion of homelessness and mobile shelters. \u00a0I intend to build a mobile home from cardboard and place it within the avenue of trees for a night.<\/p>\n

The notion cardboard as commodity in a South African context; street-surfers, improvised living structures, and the politics of aestheticising poverty. Bought cardboard vs. found\/recycled cardboard. Here the materiality of the structures becomes important \u2013impermanent, highly susceptible to weathering, but fluid, adaptable and mobile.<\/p>\n

Examining the process of gentrification and the artist\u2019s intervention – the act of inserting structures (or artworks) into a space<\/span> in order to manifest or articulate place<\/span> – and using play\/performance\/action\/interaction to explore and engage the complex patterns that arise.\u00a0 Supervision of the structure (or artwork) vs. Abandonment of the structure (or artwork); how this changes the way it is utilised.<\/p>\n

I am interested to see how this work translates in Strasbourg as an intervention, as my pervious ‘shacks’ have only been erected in South Africa.<\/p>\n
