City Eyes
Temporary interventions at the border between public and private
City-eyes addresses the border between the private and public domain. Subject of research are the Amsterdam windows: as windows are the eyes of the city. City-eyes offers a personal view into the souls of Amsterdam homes and thereby reveals the city's hidden stories.
All window events are miniature test cases, playing with the characteristics of the window as a screen between interior and exterior. This way, one's private parquet will be part of the outdoor pavement for a moment, and the city becomes home.
