One person per square meter is considered to be the density limit to ensure individual comfort and safety in public space. A higher density already represents a risk and a grouping is seen as a crowd. ONE by 1 intends to question this metric and create an exploration tool for standardized and politicized individual space, its limitations and awareness of the space of the other.
It imposes a new limit to our body, a geometrized and rational second skin yet flexible and permeable through which the movement is only perceptible when it exceeds our supposed limit and we enter the space that no longer belongs to us. This metaphorical rational formatting of private space and consequent dystopian annulment of the individual leads us to value the way we interact and establish collective intimate relationships in public space.
