The Running Shed is perceived as a mystical, empty stage, a cinematic void within the city, collecting memories, events and happenings. Adjacent to it stands a billboard, hanging over the wall that separates the site from chaotic Lagos. This intermediate entity acts as a flagship, a representation of the space within the Running Shed, a showcase of its rich, atmospheric spatial quality.
Casting the negative space between two traincoaches and displaying it on the billboard for the world to see, brings the interior to the exterior and turns the collected memories into tangible matter. The memories are substantialised, condensed, and made visible, as a fragment of previously undistinguished space; the negative into the positive, the forgotten into the reclaimed.
