Untitled Depot: view of space between walls

Nari Ward's "Untitled Depot/Estacion sin titulo," installed at Playas de Tijuana, was an interactive piece that brought people together. Dedicated to the healer and child in everyone, the installation was constructed from doors, bed springs, and other found materials that visitors could walk through and experiment with. Ward felt that the physical interaction that brought visitors together inside the installation was vital for the totality of the piece. The bed springs that encouraged visitors to jump up and down were based on Ward's interest in suspension, and the balance it implies between rest and motion -- inSITE97
