Hey,
So today I sat at the train station in my box. It was quite an interesting/amazing experience, but also one that I would prefer to never have again. It took a while to actually get myself to do it, but once I did it was worth it. It was quite hilarious, actually, to watch people move around me and respond to my stationary box shelter. I got a number of different responses, all of which I recorded in a documentary film. The film is a little bit long, but I think its important to get a good sense of the subtle interactions that went on around/with my box. The box is actually kind of cool- I enjoy that I can walk in it without having to hold it up and that I can sit in it and be sheltered without any trouble. Many people laughed or looked confused, and it was weird because after I left the station, whenever I would hear someone laugh I thought they were laughing at me... even when I wasn't in my box. This project is something that I never in my life would have thought I would actually do, and it's really awesome that I got to do it in Florence.
I attached two pictures of this experience... I didn't want to attach too many since it's all in the semi-long film (about 10 minutes).
