Neighbours

This was an ideal location for the performance, Neighbours. The Turkish Culture Centre was in front across the street, next door was a Synagogue, in the circumfrance of about 400 metres were an Orthodox Church, a Mosque and a Catholic church. I chose this spot too, because I'd been working out here daily, laying out the snails, so it felt right to use this space close at hand.
First I just walked in circles with my arms out, sometimes with my eyes closed, trying to feel the balance of a circular path in the snow.

< Viewed from Max Buhlmann's intervention. He hung netting between two poles and cut out two circles, and so altered the path people used to walk between the two streets.
