‘
The crowd is one, as one it negotiates and manipulates its spatial setting. It cannot be hurried, it moves of its own accord at its own pace, but it can be prompted and encouraged to do as one outside the crowd wishes. The crowd mingles, mixes, blends, weaves and merges; in one moment it is still and close together and in the next it opens up and moves again. Within the crowd there are heads and there are feet: heads of varying heights always scanning what’s around them, and feet, as footsteps upon the ground, standing, swaying, walking, perceiving the surface beneath them.

The small child, eyes wide taking in the excitement of the plaza, sneaks his hand from his mother’s grasp, running, stumbling away from her and finding the brick wall, placing his hands on the wall to steady himself. The mother, watches, then as instinctual habit, as protector, follows after, gathering her child’s small hand back into her larger one.

In opposing directions they advance in the square, she drifting towards him, he sliding towards her. Eyes looking straight ahead, they pass with a slight swish, conscious of but paying no attention to the other, continuing on, through the space that the other one just came from, sounds of footsteps trailing behind.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;
She glides as if in a dream. Elegantly winding her way through the mingling forms of people and objects, eyes skipping around, her skirt sways in that ballerina-esque way. It is as if she is both a part of the backdrop of the buildings all around, and as if she is completely alone and it is only her in this great urban space.

He is on a loop through the property, zig zag, enforcing the written word on the signs. They say: please keep off the grass. please keep out of the water. He pauses to ask: ‘do you have permission?’ He says: ‘this is private property. no filming or photography allowed.’ He moves on, stopping to survey the scene in front of him and continuing to do his job, upholding the rules of the development and stipulating the public’s use of this urban space.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;
The suit is the man or the man is the suit. In this context it defines him. He is always going places, heading somewhere to take care of something. He sees what is in front of him, what he is moving towards. He moves through the space as though he knows it, as though he moves through it everyday, as habit, as second nature, it is his world, his domain.
