Power and reality

What do you see? What is the ‘real’ reality?

By bodily research we explored how different spaces, locations, surroundings and interactions made us feel. We focused on our personal experience in the physical and digital space. During the different workshops and our research, we explored the private and public, connection and reality. We tried to figure out in which spaces we feel empowered and safe. How was this feeling influenced by the location, surroundings and interactions? There are a few aspects in a space that makes us feel more powerful. The first aspect is a space where you are in control, where you can see your surroundings and can have a connection with the people around you. The second aspect is a wall behind us to cover our back. You only have to focus on what’s in front of you because you know what’s behind you. Are you in control of your surroundings? Is what we see, hear and feel the real reality? In our research we investigated this in different ways.
