What’s In Your Car And My Garage: politics in domestic space
This project investigates the artistic, multifunctional and connotative aspects that innocuous objects and everyday gestures have when put into political contexts. It aims to juxtapose how they present themselves in two distinct spaces, domestic and public, with drastically different levels of privacy – as a result of the contextualisation of that space and the modification of their appearances. It is inspired by the concept of «laughtivism» which focuses on the use of absurdity and non-violence as protest tactics. It shows how artistic practice can have a political effect as a form of civil disobedience.
