Temporary

In this project, the construction site is not understood as a physical location, but as a societal condition. Construction sites are recurring urban phenomena in which processes of collapse, control, and reconfiguration converge. Through this motif, the work examines how societies organize and stabilize themselves while simultaneously revealing their own points of fracture.
The project unfolds across five countries, without presenting them as fixed identities. Instead, they function as distinct social constellations. Seoul marks the point of personal formation, while Berlin reflects a present condition in which everyday life and political structures intersect. Poland represents a position of distance and observation, Hong Kong a space where risk and solidarity are negotiated simultaneously. China reveals a system in which control and regulation permeate daily life.
As the work progresses, these different “construction sites” begin to lose their boundaries. The focus shifts away from the representation of specific places toward the movements and relations between them. The construction site emerges as a transitional space in which distinctions between inside and outside, observation and participation, and individual and structure are continuously destabilized and reconfigured.
Rather than a sign of progress or repair, the construction site is understood here as an ongoing process of negotiation. The work suggests that social order is not fixed, but sustained through provisional structures. In this sense, the construction site becomes an image for a world in which boundaries are not given, but constantly rearticulated.
