The project is composed by two main components. A visual essay developed during the course at the University of Basel named Engendering the City, held by Aylin Vildirim Tschoepe . Together with the installation design project in collaboration with Moritz Mader, Anna Zweifel, Jeannine Schmidhauser. The visual essay composed by images and a text-based essay investigate the correlation between public statues and their grade of abstraction. It wants to explore if and how statues are gendered by the public and if this attitude implies a different emotional embodiment in the encounters. The chairs’ design was developed in order to create a common layout for all the visual essays developed during the course.
