I explore the contemporary city — I'm really interested in practical urbanism, so Intervention includes unsanctioned acts in public space. First of all, cities are meant to be a space for life but in the realms of capitalism they've been perverted into a space for suppression: advertising; office centres; malls and so on. All these factors aggressively suppress people's will, turning them into a soulless consumer, blind bio-machines chasing the latest seasonal offers. It all makes me critically rethink the urban space. The essence of intervention is the attempt to hack and discredit the system, and subverting their function. 2010—14
