Anti-Object is a site-specific sculpture examining how public space is regulated through design. The work takes its point of departure from the Camden Bench, developed for the London Borough of Camden to prevent lingering, resting and undesired use. By isolating and materialising the bench’s formal logic, the sculpture exposes a hidden ideology in which public space is designed for productive movement rather than so-called “anti-social” behaviour. The work was developed for the exhibition Wet, Work at Fabrikken For Kunst og Design, located at Sundholm - an area shaped by both social care functions and pressures of gentrification. In this context, the work operates as a critical reflection on who public space is actually designed for.
