LINES OF CONTROL

Project series (ongoing since 2001)

LINES OF CONTROL brings together a series of performative interventions, spatial constructions, and visual works developed across different cities and contexts.

Using tape, barriers, and provisional architectural elements, these works investigate how space is structured, controlled, and negotiated. They address questions of visibility, restriction, and participation, focusing on the relationship between the body and systems of regulation within public and institutional environments.

Spanning video works, photographic series, installations, and drawings, the project unfolds as a long-term exploration of how boundaries are produced — and how they can be challenged, reconfigured, or temporarily suspended.

FEATURED

VIDEO-BASED WORKS

Conceived as autonomous video works, these pieces integrate performance, camera, and staging into a unified structure. The body operates as both subject and medium within constructed spatial conditions.

DOCUMENTATIONS / PARTICIPATORY WORKS

Emerging from direct actions in public space, these works document participatory and spatial interventions. They capture processes of interaction, negotiation, and the temporary reconfiguration of social and urban environments.

FEATURED

No Exit / Lucerne
Public performance / urban intervention
2011, Lucerne, Switzerland
 

A spatial intervention that confronts the limits of access, exposing how control over public space extends into legal and institutional frameworks.

PERFORMATIVE INTERVENTIONS

These works foreground action itself as a primary medium. Between withdrawal and rupture, passing becomes an act of resistance. 

INSTALLATION

Translating performative strategies into spatial form, these works construct physical environments that articulate control, restriction, and movement within architectural settings. 

DRAWINGS / WORKS ON PAPER

As graphic translations of spatial interventions, these works reduce action to structure and symbol. They reflect on systems of control, movement, and fragmentation.

PROJECT MAPPING

THE WORLD IS FLAT
2008, Copenhagen, Denmark

This section brings together diagrammatic and cartographic works that map the spatial and conceptual development of the project. It functions as a reflective layer, connecting individual interventions into a broader narrative.
