Objects, body & urban interaction
The urban fabric shapes bodies, influencing how they move, inhabit, and respond to space. Architectural remnants of post-communist housing estates, metal rods, playground structures, worn surfaces, carry traces of past tensions, structuring behaviour and producing a dialogue between body and environment.
Through embodied engagement, the body is placed within these elements as a testing ground, entering states of friction, pressure, and alignment with architectural forms. Contact, resistance, and repetition operate as methods through which the city inscribes itself onto the body, while bodily presence simultaneously shifts the perception and organisation of space.
