︎ Title: Domestic Dialogues
︎ Date: April 2023
︎ Location: Canbury Place Car Park
In this performance art project, I explored domesticity by living on a bed within Canbury Place Car Park. Everyday rituals — reading, working on a laptop, and other domestic activities — were carried out in public, blurring the boundaries between private and shared spaces.
As part of the project, I interviewed local residents about the masterplan set to redevelop the car park, reflecting on its implications in the context of the UK housing crisis. These conversations connected the work to broader social issues, highlighting tensions between personal space, urban change, and community needs.
Through these actions and interactions, I examined the relationship between domestic life, human connection, and architectural space. A moving image film documents the performance, capturing intimate moments and engagement with the local community, while emphasizing the interplay between personal experience, public space, and the evolving urban environment.
