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.‬
