Brittle Failure also known as Paredes de Papel is a project exploring the the illusion of stability that often unravels. The house is the basic unit of our everyday lives, and is fundamental to our self-identity, but it periodically transforms. In considering the house as a symbol of permanence, this piece explores the fault lines of its inherent fragility. We live within these formed constructions but they are often less solid and predictable than we imagine. Unplanned disturbances shake the foundations of our ordered world.

This project was developed with the idea of shifting the use of the performance space. In collaboration with Yoko Seyama an installation is developed with the participation of the public leading into the performance. The installation is observed from the outside as a giant in a miniature city, the performance from the inside on a human scale.
