Inter[nation]

This interactive sculpture represents a city, whereby each abstract building lights up in a sequence to represent U.K. home office data. A light on, represents an asylum case accepted, a light off is a case rejected resulting in deportation. A city is nothing but what the people within it make it, but the modern city takes on a life of its own. Developments make towering high rise buildings which will stay vacant seem so out of reach for some. This piece challenges our idea of place, urbanism and belonging.
