Granville Island

description

Granville Island is a cultural ecosystem that houses commercial, industrial, and habitual spaces. For this project we were asked to rethink this cultural ecosystem or system that has been branded and imbedded within the island’s identity. “How can we redefine Granville Island in a way that was personal, interpersonal or broadly cultural?”   The goal was to create a new identity for Granville Island that will transform its current cultural standing with an investigation of its previously stapled one.

Body Space is a reflection on the space our bodies occupy. Posture and movement are impeded by fragile cloth barriers, vision is obscured by the textile ceiling. Relative to the spaces we interact with daily in the city, this space is hostile, even though the material is innocuous. Within Body Space our physical limitations are brought to the forefront, and we notice our own vulnerability.

Body Space was an installation on Granville Island in 2011.
