Supersuit

The increasing accumulation of people in living machines without history and the challenges presented by migration and the lack of space provoke a need for new thinking and acting in public spaces. Supersuit is an interdisciplinary experiment at the demarcation between people and space. It is a tool for poetic interventions in a range of different urban situations that invites participation and queries the relationship between people, space and city in terms of sense perception.
As a marker of public space, the spontaneously arising forms of Supersuit respond directly to the parameters of urban context. Using the means of ‘performative interventions’ Supersuit facilitates a change in current design processes and the conceptualizing of new people/material constellations.
The research aims at exploring light weight constructed enveloping spaces as extensions to human bodies. Supersuit operates as tool for poetic interventions in different cities inviting for participation and questioning the relations of human, space and the urban in sensual forms.
