mimomo: P1, 2003
plywood, dimensional lumber, casters, twinwall polycarbonate This is an evolving project that is designed to investigate people's awareness and use of their immediate surroundings, specifically their domestic space. It is an experiment in the overlapping of tasks performed within a small space, and the tolerance of an individual existing in tight physical parameters. This phase of the project involved building a life-size prototype of the living unit that would be used as a bedroom within a larger loft space. This version of the piece is embryonic in that it is umbilically tied to the larger space for things like water, heat and electricity. The fabrication is similar to that of manufactured homes. mimomo:P1 is permanent installation at the Texas Ballroom in the Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago and is currently reconstituted within the larger space. |
