DELUSIVE —
Searching for Public Spaces
Public Installation / Urban Intervention
Initiated as part of Architects for Change
Curator
July, 2015
Inspired by the events that have threatened Ramlet El Bayda's public status, it is absolutely crucial to shed some light on this predicament that many of Lebanon’s public spaces are facing nowadays. These spaces, public by law and nature, are increasingly privatized and segregated for the benefit of industrial minds, shunning the basic rights of the citizens.
Delusive took people an immersive trip to expose some of the most prominent archetypes of this problem around Beirut. Hence, the interactive experience sent a message to remind people of one of the most pitiful side-effects of a corrupt political system that uses power granted by the people, ultimately doing them a disservice.
Delusive served as a public platform for expression where people interacted and shared their stories.
