Where Urban Planning Meets Public Affections: Road Names, Responses, Unintended Air

Factoid #1: It has been a taboo to display ‘too much’ emotion in public places.

Factoid #2: High-sounding / Unfortunate road names can affect property prices.

After analyzing places and every street name around Tottenham, I investigate all these roads with suggestive, emotive names (besides ‘High Road’). Each of the roads is given one chance to display the feeling they’re designated with. By remembering how people respond to road signs in creative ways, each work presents an interactive process – what it’s like when official names and unofficial life choices mingle and get declared out loud.
