very simple project, easy to engage, and really perfect address to dutch cultural tendencies!
window event 03
title: BREAKFAST
date: Wednesday may 6th
window: Private home, Indische Buurt
Delicious breakfast for two. At a table that connects street and living room. Inside and outside. They belong together.
City-eyes addresses the border between the private and public domain. Subject of research are the Amsterdam windows: as windows are the eyes of the city. City-eyes offers a personal view into the souls of Amsterdam homes and thereby reveals the city’s hidden stories.
All window events are miniature test cases, playing with the characteristics of the window as a screen between interior and exterior. This way, one’s private parquet will be part of the outdoor pavement for a moment, and the city becomes home.

oh yes, i *have* seen this one before! and still, the table keeps us apart.
i wondered about a similar idea recently, in which one replaced a fence with an herb garden that could be accessed by the neighbourhood, and with little cards on which one could write a quick recipe to stick in the ground in return.
what do you think? does the food in the middle force me to bump up against the table’s edge?
