Gaia’s Corner refers to the myth of the Greek goddess Gaia, the mother of all life,and to the question of how architectural spaces and urban structures influence our perception of nature and artificiality.

In Gaia’s Corner, we explore how architecture and urban spaces shape our perception of nature and artificiality. We direct our attention to often overlooked places –
fleeting in-between spaces where our presence merges with the surroundings, revealing their hidden materiality.
In doing so, we question the presumed stability of architecture and play with the figure of the thief.
Surveillance, anonymity, and the tension between visibility and invisibility lie at the heart of our work – a play with presence, absence, and the possibility of escaping the gaze of the city.
