2018 - 2021

 

In 2018 I moved to Berlin, which was a time of noticeable gentrification in the city. Consequences of this ever-present construction work were walls of scaffolding, closed sections of pavement, and many many skips. They became a symbol of the struggle between people and architecture. They blocked traffic, they crashed with hollow noise as things were thrown into them, opening like flowers during the day and concealing their contents at night. They confused the local residents who searched for their bikes and doorways between them, small versions of the city itself wrapped up in blue, red, yellow and purple.
