Washroom-transformation based on research (visual three-dimensional mind map, removable)
Based on
a certain time of research on "hidden things" (all the things /
facts which do not appear on the immediate surface but form the basis of other
hidden things or the things we see) related to a specific location I attempt
to transform washroom facilities into three-dimensional mind maps using various
samples, thought-structure-maps, mind maps and other research material which
can be placed on the walls, on shelves or painted and drawn onto the walls,
floor and ceiling. These site-specific installations can be permanent, temporary
or partly permanent /temporary. These three-dimensional mind maps do not provide
a final answer nor the ultimate knowledge but simply can help generate ideas
and understanding. They can be continued by another person or team. The basic
function of the washroom facilities is not to be changed.
Example of a one-day-research: Mapledene Estate, Borough of Hackney, London,
UK, 20 April 2005 and the staircases of Hackney Empire Theatre
hidden things in Mapledene Estate and in the staircases of Hackney Empire
