'I was here' is Crossboundaries contribution to a larger series of installations in the Caochang Hutong area, 'Real Existence', which opened on September 27.
'I was here' focuses on your relationship with 'home', emphasizing the interaction of people, space and time. Devised as an immersive exploration within a courtyard house where no one person will have the same experience. In the past, hutong court yard houses shared some spaces of 'home' out of necessity. Today people urge for more defined private spaces. In the near future the need for more agile homes will lead to actively shared living spaces.
