Assignment 07:

I used this assignment to interrogate the spatial qualities of the bathroom space in my student apartment. I wanted to look at the space through the idea of compression and sensorial micro-moments. Due to my size and the scale of the bathroom there is an almost continuous gradient of compressed feeling in the bathroom. The number of steps I take in the space have very little rhythm or composition. To manoeuvre my frame around it require many small steps to position myself in space.

The micro moments progressions show both the act of moving to the shower space and how my body interacts with that on a physical level, and the other is the progression of washing my hands.

The most confusing interaction is with the inward swinging door which to access the cupboards under the sink, you need to move around the perimeter of the door as you swing it open in order to then close it.
