Stand still on rooftops, Action, February 2012

I access the roof of several residential buildings, stand on the edge and remain motionless.

The rooftop is the highest point of the building, usually a restricted area and not suitable for use. Here it is used as a place, a space that a body can use. The piece inverts the function of architecture – from container to support – to show the scale of the urban landscape concerning a body that can often go unnoticed.
