Inter of Course is an interactive installation, designed to provoke people and let them find the limit of their comfort zone.
Framework
Imagine a person sitting on a bench and having its bag next to him. When a stranger comes, there is a big chance that the first person will not take his bag and will not let a stranger sit next to him. It is interesting why this behavior exists nowadays? Or maybe we are afraid of them? Is it possible that our comfort zone is so enlarged that we could not fit in set frames? Who determined how big/small that frame is? The problem is clear, but it should be clear to everyone in order to have visual changes.
Idea
The workshop Intercourse is a place created to provoke people to interact as well as let them find the limit of their comfort zone and how much space they share with others. A person, as an object, becomes the main aspect. While placing a person in front of the other, we are able to analyse the boundaries of hospitality on the smallest - human scale by observing their behaviour.
