    In the process of Liverpool urban transformation, we can find in the old urban plan a lot of spaces and facilities that are vaguely defined and planned. These weird spaces are like mysteries scattered over the city, waiting to be disclosed or changed at an appropriate time. This project continues the core concept of city spirit – through observation and behavioural interposition, the possibilities of the co-existence of city and surroundings are brought forward. Also, on the premise that no changes to the present surroundings will be made, through a form of urban tour, an interpretation is made of these locations from the artist’s point of view. Through these interpretations that rationalize the embarrassing urban spaces, the link between functions and meanings is removed to readdress the relationship between people and life spaces. Also through ridiculous scenes, an attempt is to be made to search for an overlap of life experiences.

    schools during the ongoing armed conflict in Mindanao, the Lumad people found refuge in various academic
    institutions in Manila, including the Ateneo de Manila University, where the artists teach.

    For Construction of the Cities of Memory, Ernesto Bautista interviewed some of his closest friends, asking
    them about the first houses they lived in, or the first houses they lost. Based on these oral histories, the artist
    created a 3D rendering of a virtual city with all the houses his friends remember, houses that no longer exist
    for them, but exist again in this new alternative reality.
