CROSSWALK, PREMIO DE LA OPINION Y FINALISTA PREMIOS FAD - INSTALACIONES EFIMERAS
Ephemeral Installation by Constanze Sixt & Rafael Escobedo de la Riva
The Crosswalk – Cruzar el Charco project, one of the installations featured at 40 Años después, arose from the study of urban situations that demonstrate how citizen action can transform public space through occupation and appropriation. Crosswalk – Cruzar el Charco contributes to this phenomenon: in clearly outlining the spaces for interaction, the installation intends to make local residents more aware of, and sensitive to, public spaces, while inviting them to (re-)use these spaces, to incorporate their daily lives into them, thus blurring the limits between private and public, between personal and collective.
