Knit the city exhibition suggests a participatory performance and a durational
installation.
With papier-mâché knitting needles and crochet hook, it offers a collective knitting
experience. Using our whole body and moving together, we seek various choreographies
of making together. Here, knitting as a metaphor for connection allows us to knit
ourselves behind the needles instead of the thread. The number of people we use the
knitting needles depends on our weight-bearing capacity. With papier-mâché knitting
needles and crochet hook, we knit a special kind of yarn which is made of strips of fabric
stuffed with newspapers. If it is desired to enlarge the knitting, the yarn needs to be
stuffed and sewn by the participants which is a part of the performance
