Space out

I think I will write this in english. At the last seminaire I told my group about the failure with the lights. I was planning to use lightthread (like the ones you hang in the christmastree) to set borders for my chosen space. The electricity didn't quite work with me unfortunately.

What I like about my space the most is that it's already bordered. It is much like a room under the bridge there and this weekend I'm thinking about taking a fikapaus (coffebreak) or a glass of wine there with my friend who is visiting me friday to sunday. I wonder what Sofia will say bout it?

We talked a little bit on how to border our sites in the group on wednesday. A used flour, C used read cloth and C used what the surronding had to offer with stones, trash etc. I thought A was right on the spot for the numerous ways of bordering the site when she suggested cats! Imagine hundreds of cats standing in line around your space - wouldn't it be marvellous?! I'm sure my chosen space would be amazing if I filled it with cats (I have one to start out with)! Well, jokes aside - I'm just saying oppertunitys are endless and I like the surreal notion about that idea. A space can be anything. A room can become any kind of environment.

I found a websight called weburbanist.com ,looking for pictures for inspiration to my project. There are actually ppl who does illegal actions in urban environment by seeding useful plants where you thought nothing could grow. I think it's great! I just wonder why it's not done everywhere possible - without it having to be concidered illegal, cause that's just redicullous.



That's all for now! Catch you later

Wow. Jag fick en jättehäftig inre bild där du fyller ditt space med katter. Helst bara huvudena. (mohaha) Fast liksom levande ändå, blinkande ögon du vet. Det är inte så lätt fixat kanske, men ändå. :)

Blev det fikat på din plats? Tycker det är bra, att liksom känna in platsen... Själv har jag ingen aning än vad jag ska göra på min plats. Jag är fortfarande på lära-känna-varandra-fasen.

Syns i morgon! :)

If you're going to drink wine in your little space, I don't mind joining you, and how great would it not be with meowing cats lined up marking your border! I saw that documentary on TV with seed planting - it was awesome! It's a great place you've shosen for this project and good luck with the lights. Katta

Karin, it seem as if you have lots of thoughts on your mind when it comes to the process of your space. To me it seems cozy, maybe we should hang out there some time? I live close by =) So, how did it go with your friend and the wine? Did you spend the evening next under the bridge?

See you this evening to bake some good cake, and tomorrow aswell.
