“Willi Dorner has been leading a series of performers who cram themselves into various urban nooks and crannies. The photos documenting the performance are quite surreal. These photos were taken in New York in September, 2010 as part of the FIAF Crossing the Line Festival. Here’s the project description: ‘bodies in urban spaces’ is a temporarily intervention in diversified urban architectonical environment. The intention of “bodies in urban spaces” is to point out the urban functional structure and to uncover the restricted movement possibilities and behaviour as well as rules and limitations. By placing the bodies in selected spots the interventions provoke a thinking process and produce irritation. Passers by, residents and audience are motivated and prompted to reflect their urban surrounding and there own movement behaviour and habits. “Bodies in urban spaces” invites the residents to walk their own city thus establishing a stronger relationship to their neighbourhood, district and town. The interventions are temporarily without leaving any traces behind, but imprints in the eye-witnesses` memory. Images from the project flickr pool via SpaceInvading.” (Words of Mike Ernst, author of the Magical Urbanism Blog)
