Risk Centre (2013)
Mixed Media Installation

Over the course of three-months, the Risk Centre transformed the Arkitekturmuseet, Stockholm into a site-specific risk assessment facility and educational performance space. The interior spaces of the museum were reconfigured to form a condensed version of Stockholm city in which multiple micro-environments were designed to allow the subject of risk to be explored in its many pretexts. Part film set, educational facility and themepark, the centre recreated familiar scenes and places from the suburbs and the inner city to act as a venue for a civic programme in which school groups from the municipality of Stockholm and the general public were invited on guided daily risk tours of the centre as well as weekly events and workshops that further examined the complex subject of risk.

In collaboration with Inigo Minns.
