In installation OFF FENCE at the 17th Biennale of Architecture, visitors are confronted with an obstacle on the path leading them to it.They must deal with it if they wish to continue. They may give up, or they can choose to go around it, or they can walk through the obstacle. Either way, their decision, their reaction to this impediment, becomes symbolic.Separated society physically, geographically, socially. In response to this Biennale’s theme, the installation asks: What is it that separates us? What pushes us away from the state that we strive for? The OFF FENCE installation confronts the separation phenomenon as it blocks playful access along a path with a barrier. It transforms this obstacle into an impulse of change. The objective is to initiate transformation within a playful context as one symbolically embraces the physicality of a problem.
