What kind of acts are required to create structures we desire to live in? Structures we work within, spaces we cook food in response to our hunger, architectures that become spaces for finding solace as moments of public, private, personal – sometimes secluded from one another, intermingle as desires within and outside unfurl.
The window period that diagnoses freedom from its construction is determined by the time spent or created by inhabitants of any space; space which implies both room and duration. But, what happens when windows in any space are left ajar? Freedom escapes its current meanings as one comes across new, untouched, even strange lands outside – and in that, a seeking begins. A seeking towards a place where one longs to be, a seeking away from architectures where one feels isolated when promises of comfort remain unfulfilled.
As interiors that define offices, homes and spaces of commune are drilled with this quest to be somewhere else, the arris that marks the intersection of two surfaces, the skirting that runs through the base of all walls – gyrate. The functional yet hierarchically nether spaces of toilet rooms and kitchen spaces explode, as beds and dinings which carry memories expand the politics of varied identities and lay bare in front of us – different forms of submissions. In stages, as the outsides of any visible architecture wears off, structures of pipes and veins, doors and openings, walls and bones open up, and crack – bit by bit – unflattening structures which maintain the sanity of conventions, built to prolong existing powers in place.
