about

area is a platform for the temporary transformation of public space.
Projects connected to area are performative and/or choreographic actions, which emphasize and put into question the given social, architectural and political codes of a place.

An area project may take the form of a specific performance, a set of choreographic actions before a (un)knowing public, or a mode of research carried out on a particular geographic zone. These actions are neither theater works that simply happen to take place in public, nor are they spontaneous events.

area projects traverse the border between visible and invisible, directly and thoughtfully working to transform a given place. The result of such a project is a fluid and temporary space, in which the definitions between viewer and performer -- between city and stage -- are continuously re-defined.
