The Shortcut to the Systematic Life: City Spirits
- Action Video/Single Channel Video

- 2005
This work was developed during a residency at Gasworks in London, with shooting finished later in Taipei, Taiwan. I explore the social dynamics of urban spaces in a series of actions that test and subvert the invisible norms that govern our use of public spaces. I am using a series of actions to re-discover and re-present the city from a different perspective, one that absurdly challenges the use of spaces and makes us think about how we deal with them.
