For the project City Scripts I observe and record everyday behavior in (semi)
public spaces. I choose acts like people waiting at a subway platform, visiting
a supermarket or posting a letter at a mailbox. I aim to register the choreography
of these acts in a very precise way. The registrations are presented as videos
or photographs at the location itself.
At every location people appear in a certain capacity. I try to point at these
different capacities. At an airport people behave like passengers, at a shopping
mall like shoppers, at work like collegians. The interpretation of these roles
recedes the personal into the background, and emphasizes the communal in a
theatrical way.
By focusing on everyday behavior I try to give meaning to events that are
taking place always and everywhere, but that we hardly always perceive. I
want to ritualize these everyday events. It should reveal the characteristics
of a place and, if possible, strengthen its nature.
