The Wallpaper Collective
Fieldwork Facility
A project to create dialogues between different geographies and cultures
The Wallpaper Collective was a collaboration with the sculptor Freya Gabie. The project’s aim was to create dialogues between geographies and cultures. By producing paper reconstructions of walls we displaced borders and boundaries experienced on a daily basis. By manipulating the locations of walls, we encouraged those who experienced them to question the relationship between themselves, their environment and other people.
For the project's duration we invited people to send us images of walls from across the globe, with these images we created wallpapers (paper recreations of walls) which we then redistributed and rebuilt in another part of the world. Through an open-source website we offered the tools and instructions to rebuild those walls anywhere in the world.
