Lagos Legacy

Interstices
Adeola Olagunju

The project explores the human body as a terrain vague. I looked at the materiality of motions and emotions, drawing on railway commute experiences of people in Lagos. Observing the mundane and seemingly eventless, the focus is on the interplay between material infrastructures of movement and emotional mindscapes.

How do feelings of anxiety, boredom and euphoria surface in situations of waiting or daydreaming? The body, in the event of transition between public and private realms, ultimately generates networks of in-between spaces; this act of transition redefines limits in space. Thus, the in-between embraces not only notions of openness, porosity, breach and relationship, but also those of process and transformation.
