how do we measure a space together?
this participatory performance reconsiders measurement as a practice of relation — an embodied structure through which bodies negotiate distance, weight, and belonging. inspired by a historical proposal by jacob köbel, a 16th-century surveyor, to define units of length through the collective body, the work transforms measurement into an experiment in collective balance and mutual support.
this program is part of "downtown autumn art night" event hosted by canal projects.
