Passages and Places: Movement and Feeling in an Urban Space

This project examines how body-space-identity relations arise out of everyday experience, movement, and sensory perception. In a phenomenological act that includes rambling, observations, and reflective writing along with theoretical reading, four subjective maps of city locations were built. The research was based on four key criteria: senses, boundaries, appearance, and relation, and through them everyday experience was examined not as a given, but as a changing space in which the self is rebuilt and repositioned in every encounter with the space. The passages between the places serve as transformative spaces, in which processing and preparation take place.

Passages and Places offers a personal reading of everyday experience in Jerusalem from changing viewpoints, as a changing, revolving experience that points to the inseparable connection between space, body, gaze, and thought.
