At the crossroads of visual art, architecture and philosophy, Breaking Habits is a new spatial installation by RAAAF, commissioned by the Mondriaan Fund for the visual arts. It is an experimental landscape inside a classic Dutch canal house, that breaks with entrenched living habits. This physical thinking model materializes a philosophical worldview and makes it tangible: a diagonal landscape of affordances scaffolds a more active lifestyle by inviting to change positions and explore new diagonal standing postures.
