Observation Station
Observation Station is a mobile, site-responsive drawing installation that transforms climbing gyms and movement spaces into observation spaces. Positioned directly within environments of physical discipline, the project uses observational drawing to capture the biomechanics, rhythms, and spatial negotiations of bodies in motion.
Moving beyond traditional representation, the project champions a collaborative visual archive. LGBTQ+ athletes and underserved community members are not passive subjects, but active contributors to a shared visual archive, demonstrating how embodied practices generate unique forms of visual knowledge.
