Self Zone

Have you ever felt like your personal space is being invaded, especially in big
cities, as if there is no such space at all? It happens to me so often; for example
while at the bank trying to make a transaction a man stares at the screen; or
while walking on the street, someone hits my shoulder in public transport and
continues their way without even saying they’re sorry, or when I go out at night.
This situation has always made me uncomfortable so I made a sculpture in the
form of two bicycles that are constructed on a single bicycle frame, both fixed to
the front wheel. This is similar to the analogy of two goats on the same bridge,
unable to move, thus stuck in immobility. Since I started to cycle actively, I’m
quite free, much healthier and more sensitive to the environment that surrounds
me. Somehow, I linked this simple machine which sets me free with the idea of
personal space.
