This intervention deals with public space in general. How do we experience it, where are the limits of using it, how do we behave inside of this? I found roundabouts an interesting examples of non-reachable public spaces, due to their position surrounded by roads. There is no legal possibility to come there as a pedestrian, although they often look very attractive and built for human presence on it. What if there is something else inside the roundabout, which is obviously made to be used by people? This paradigm made me interested in intervening in a very basic way. I concentrated on one certain roundabout placed inside the town of Ljubljana. I explored nearest environment and found couple of benches and bins, which seemed as perfect objects for this intervention. With simple gesture of moving those objects inside of roundabout I made this part of the public space civil welcomed. Through the action I came to illegal position of crossing the road, which is price for ‘entrance’ to the ‘cutted zone’ of public space. (Source: Danilo Milovanović)
