Tighten a line between two parallel interiors, Installation, October 2018

Tighten a 150 meters long cable perpendicular to two interior spaces of a city.

My studio at an art residency has a window in the center, facing three streets away another window of an apartment building.

The proposal comes from a spatial coincidence towards establishing a relationship between two different spaces, which are both unknown to each other.

These spaces relate through a physical element that crosses them both, cutting through an intermediate outer space that separates them, keeps them open and connected for an agreed time.
