Diary of a Stranger / Brandon LaBelle

Thorvald Meyersgate 61 kl: 18:00

The one who is standing apart – or wishing to leave
To face the other – who is that over there
Or to disappear – is this the way to the park

The project explores the social figure of “the stranger” as a way to engage the city of Oslo. In what way does the stranger perform within the urban environment, and in tracking the stranger might certain social demarcations and territorial boundaries be exposed? Through the circulation of a silent object planted within the city, the project introduces a secret intervention onto the streets, seeking to bring into relief narratives of strangeness.
