Women are, indisputably, affected by feeling unsafe in public spaces after dark. They change the way they act, move and live. Concrete-heavy, badly illuminated spaces, like bridges or tunnels create a nightmare scenery and exclude women, as well queer, trans and non-binary people from safely walking through them. The film LIGHTS immerse us into women's discriminatory reality, their vulnerabilities and desperate reactions in the dark. And investigates what can architects or urban planners do to help inclusive transformation of public spaces? How can designers ease omnipresent fear of experiencing sexual violence?

The film explores where the boundaries of inclusive design are and how they can be further extended by setting pre-determined barriers. The project fictionalises the story of a traveler without knees and how he lives in a modern city. In the process of social discipline, it is a necessary thing to deconstruct the single-mindedness and wishful thinking of the designers in a playful way. In the process of making the film, I tried to identify similarities in the symbolic forms of everyday life and intertwined them with ''poor images'' to examine the tiny narratives of fragmentation and chatter from the position of a spectator.

I explore Copenhagen across some urban spaces free for everyone where is possible to find Happiness and Relax: inclusive spaces for workout/fitness, playground for children and for people who like to play like a child. New public spaces with a wonderful view on the new Architectures. Special Activity parks with more playfulness that inspire movement and that contribute to the best quality of life for everyone. I filmed my mother (75 years old) who jumps, swings and plays to find happiness in these special urban spaces in Copenhagen.

The World And The Flock speculates about the capacities of the famous Geneva sheep flock to change our perception of the city. Thus, the flock that roams the gardens of Jardin des Nations, the heart of so called International Geneva, becomes a connecting and form-making element. The project offers an alternative reading, beyond the dispersed, isolated and fenced estates of International Geneva. The circulating flock becomes a spatial factor that is ordering social realtions through the (un)built. Seen, observed, monitored, the event unfolds its impact on multiple channels: from the physical to the digital. Thereby, the public space which nowadays is weakly articulated, scattered and isolated within the city of Geneva, becomes more connected and attractive to both locals and tourists and not only for members of International Geneva. Ingredients Grass, fences, water, trees – everything the flock needs can be found on site. The only missing elements, were a barn and salt for the sheep to winter. The flock is kept on rotating pastures, called padocks. There it grazes for four days before moving on, rotating from land to land, using normal asphalt roads. In the course of one year, the flock visits the United Nations, the U.S. Mission, the Rothschild estate, and many others. Every last weekend of the month, the flock leaves the Jardin des Nations and moves into the city. This urban event reconnects the isolated Jardin des Nations with the city of Geneva which is itself a city of (dis)connected madows.
