In Between

The intervention concerns the creation of a bamboo bridge structure, with an appearance
similar to the temporary scaffolding used in traditional Bengali construction sites, painted blue and which
connects the Court room (Adalot/kachari), the only building where subjects could make their voices heard by
bringing their requests to the king, to the central building, housing the king’s son. This sabotage (trick), in
addition to ideally indicating that there is no longer a distinction between public and private through this
transition from a semi-public space in the past to a totally sacred and private one, wants to draw “material”
attention to the building, rekindling the curiosity of the inhabitants about its possible use and its future.
The intervention was completed with the help of local, paid workers and the help of the community, in order
to introduce new capital into the local economy of the village and to empower those who took part in it to
ensure future care.
