The City is a Sock I Can’t Take Off

dimensions / Mixed media / 2026


The City Is a Sock I Can’t Take Off uses play as a method to explore the cyclical relationship between urban construction and the land. The work consists of a children’s play table, UV-printed and ordinary building blocks, a game book, an archival inkjet print, and artificial grass, together forming an open and participatory environment.

The work approaches the city as a continuous process of construction and reconstruction, inviting viewers to engage in acts of defunctionalised building. As structures are dismantled and established orders are disrupted, what ultimately emerges is the land itself. Through play and participation, the work invites viewers to reconsider the relationship between urban development, spatial memory, and the land, while experiencing the connection between people and their environment through a cycle of construction and return.
