2 Examples of work: Sown (2011/2014) Sown engages in an inquiry on re-appropriation of unused/underused urban space in the city. Looking at wastelands, retaken and transformed by people, and representing them in a new form, during the night, when under cover of darkness everything is unified, a blank canvas on which I could re- imagine another space through the manipulation of light and with the support of the people living around it. By planting lights in specific areas of these spaces I am able to highlight particular areas and conversely hide others and in doing so, redefine the borders. These places are symbols, understated beacons of a new civil society, where the participants understand the importance of community and its relationship to the environment. Toryglen, from the Series Sown, Glasgow, 2011

6 Examples of work: Soil City (2016/Ongoing) Soil City is a long term project initiated by Open Jar Collective, to reimagine the city as if soil matters. Launching at Glasgow International 2016, we undertook a period of field research to initiate a conversation about soil and find out what people s interest in it was. This included a Soil City Lab open every day from the 8th 25th April, a programme of walks, talks and events and Soil City bikes equipped with a bespoke testing kit, which roved round the city. The conversations and activities were documented on a daily basis and published in our field notes.

8 Examples of work: Fictions (2014) From the 1950s Italian film directors (such as Rossellini, Visconti, etc) used areas of Rome as a stage for their films. Filming on location using real people brought on issues connected to everyday life and life conditions of Italy after the WWII. During fascism and until the arrival of the TV in everyone s houses the cinema venues were flourishing. The warm weather and the local cultural asset helped the development of many temporary open-air cinemas. Legal and often supported by the church and the governments these temporary activities in the public space were acting as powerful motor for social interactions. After mapping and documenting different locations I decided to respond to the various roles that the film theatres played in Rome with a series of temporary interventions in situ. I called the series Fictions after the famous collection of short stories by Jorge Luis Borges, in particular I felt a strong connection with the The Circular Ruins where a men creates an image of himself to finally understand that he is also a simulacrum, in post-war times the cinema was filming the city and its inhabitants, which then would have sat in front of the screen to look at themselves. The backstage and the viewer were never been closer in an interposition of circular relationships. Screen from Fictions, 2014 Temp Installation, C-Print

9 Cinemas have been dictating social rules, tastes, creating fashions and promoting consumption. These ephemeral temporary installations, echoing the presence of a screen, act as a thin membrane, an almost transparent stage curtain, dividing the general public, which used to sit in front of it, from the places where films were set. The material used for the installation is a thin layer of disposable non-recyclable plastic generally used to cover goods, preserving them from deterioration. With this work I am reestablishing a connection between the urban space and the film theatre, where the physical structure disappeared or was always been temporary.
