This project is called Anti-Social and we were grouped in 2s with a designated area each. In our case, it was Lambeth. We were sent off to explore the notion of anti-social behaviors. As I started investigating the area, I discovered that there was hardly anyone occupying the area and most of them tend to merely just pass through it. I started to question myself that, could, rather a human, a non-living object like space be anti-social. I feel that maybe for the past decades, the local has been suffering from poor facilities in the area and the lack of community awareness, as a result of government heavy investment and emphasis on business sector.
I decided to concentrate on the communal park in Lambeth as I feel a park should be a place where both the residents and businessmen can share and enjoy together. However the park is neglected. Therefore I decided to do a fictional campaign against such act. One of the actions was Re-generation. It encourages skilled and creative locals to renovate damaged objects in areas such as the park. This campaign is both passive and aggressive as this could act as a protest to the government’s neglection.
I started this program and renovated 2 fixtures in the park in a week, but I had no response at all. This is probably because I initially wanted people to discover them themselves; hence I kept a low profile. Since this has made no effect so far I have decided to push in a bit further by attachment notes of my action and of this campaign on to the renovations I made in hope that I can generate some reactions, but this is still yet to be complete.
