| Mansions is located at a
major pedestrian and traffic intersection, where there is a constant flow of people passing by from the city centre to the west-end. The aim of this site-specific piece is to stop people passing in-transit and to make their usual, every-day journey more interesting by engaging them in something unexpected. When people get caught in everyday routine of getting from A to B, urban routes becomes passages of transition, somewhere to daydream, and there is a loss of sense for the surroundings. Mansions is situated in this kind of non-place, the building often lying empty and unnoticed, its location discouraging people from occupying it. People find their way through cities by following a series of visual cues in the form of road signs. The red arrows pointing to the photos in the windows attract attention in the same way, drawing people in, and make them pause in their journey at a point where they otherwise would not. Initially, the arrows draw attention to the photos, and then the images in the photos draw attention to Mansions and its surroundings. The presence of a figure in the photo in the same position as the viewer makes them aware of their own presence in the space, and physical interaction with the surrounding space. This causes the viewer to retain their sense of place, and reconnect with their surroundings |
