ties. The body as the (only) home. Regardless of origin, orientation and opinion. A throwing together of biographies on public but “neutral” ground. How do we perceive and design our own “artistic shelter”? How far does it go; does it only include me or does it include others? How can I carry it, support it, take it with me and share it?
In this final work, the go plastic collective processes and reflects on the discourses that have arisen and been held over the entire project period (2020-2021) on the topics of shelter, life and art on the street, bodies in public space and their perception(s). The aim is to create a participatory tableau which unites and narrates the collected theses, conclusions and findings in all their complexity, diversity and contradictions.

We behave /act /conduct ourselves in public spaces every day. We walk, stand, sit, stop and pass by. We know the rules. They are not written anywhere, unspoken but not unknown.
What do we allow others?
Who are we to judge?
Where and how do we place our bodies in public spaces?
How do we reclaim, re-use and recapture?

Thematically, the second part negotiates life outside: what environment do we seek and create for ourselves? Nomadism as a (super)way of life: opening up and occupying new, half-finished, broken, ruined, free, preserved spaces. Always on the move, always looking for the "right" shelter, always temporary.
