<City'scape + Tied> is a situation design artwork that uses the physical apparatus of a door to let visitors inhabit the layered emotions of urban life.

<City'scape + Tied> is a situation design artwork that uses the physical apparatus of a door to let visitors inhabit the layered emotions of urban life. The exhibition space itself is imagined as an urban space: visitors turn away from the dazzle of the large media screen and step into an alleyway. In the simple act of opening a door, they encounter a private, immersive moment held inside the ordinary fabric of the city.
