(Exercise in) Becoming Architecture

By Jenny Cashmore 2015
A series of durational performances carried out in Cardiff School of Art & Design exploring relationship to place and institution. Different sculptural shapes were adopted using the body in different locations of the building. These positions would be held until the light sensors in that area no longer detected movement (or a person being present) and would turn the lights off. This was documented using film (edited) and timings.
