THIS FLOOR, THIS WALL / SARAH JAMIESON

The proposed spatial installation will elaborate the existing mirror relations in the CTA’s interior. The carpet floor covering which dominates the space is printed with dense repeat patterns. These patterns are constructed from mirrored, geometric shapes arranged on colour block backgrounds.

A series of videos will be embedded into elements of the existing architecture. The coat check desk, an alcove and a bi-fold wall will frame manipulated footage of the CTA’s carpet. As the patterned floor coverings shift onto the projected vertical plane, the shapes become loose and mobile. Every 9 minutes, the documented carpets will shake and vibrate as the City Rail train passes underneath the building.

SARAH JAMIESON is Co-director of ieoos and teaches in the Interior and Spatial Design department at the University of Technology, Sydney.
