A research-led practice & A collection of experiments
In the Belly of a Whale
//Belly is an experimental drawing practice to examine the physical aspects of commuting spaces.
I hang pens in London underground and bus.
Repetitive rhythms of arriving and departure, trembling floor and wall, and swinging cars. These are often neglected since it is what we already get used to and take for granted.
As I marked the position of a pen at every stop, it captured the residue of movements and composite scores. While visualising the physical movements, I reoccupy commuting spaces by playing with them and using them as my drawing tools instead of being carried away by them, ignoring the rattle, trying to avoid noise, and reading all advertisements and campaigns.
