Mapping: Intermediate Spaces

I have chosen to map the bathrooms of office buildings around campus because they represent the narrow overlap between public and private space. They are both and neither at the same time. The bathroom, initially a personal space, is pushed into the public realm when it enters the context of the work place but nevertheless retains the intimacy intrinsic to it. Through this project I attempted to map the very specific and ambiguous nature of these spaces. Mirrors are a recurrent motif throughout this project because they are one of the bathroom’s defining features as well as allow for particular photographic effects. They enable a layered exploration of these multifaceted spaces.
