Searching for the personal in public space

Personal space is connected to the feelings of autonomy, control and privacy. Personal space is a singular perception beyond the physical distance between humans.

The Collective Sleep Orchestra is an installation that brings the individual consciousness and presence into a collective experience. We focus on the feeling of privacy within a collective action. It is an invitation to experience personal space in the context of a public space where all users can become aware of the impact of themselves in the place while keeping a feeling of comfortable privacy.

Collective means inclusive

Private cells invite users to an individual action of isolation and limited accessibility to surroundings. Though sounds, the private cells create individual and anonymous imprints of their presence that replicates into the other cells. Reality is cropped, a personal singular view of the world that creates a unique private moment for each user.
