2. Dizzying Heights On Certain Groundlessness

"Dizziness is a disturbed sense of relationship we have to space. In other words, environmental conditions can make us feel dizzy, which is very much related to the built environment and how we experience architecture and urban space." Davide Deriu
 
This episode is all about keeping and losing balance in space. Keeping our bodily balance is a continuous somatic performance of which we become aware only in the event of a disturbance: the very moment we lose our bearings, stumble, or fall; that is, when the relation between the body and the surrounding world is changed in an unforeseeable and often undesirable way. What role does the (built) environment play in the ways we balance? What a joy to ponder Ben Spatz's thought on the physicality of dizziness, Davide Deriu's proposition of an "architecture of vertigo", to understand the process of somatic architect and designer Auxiliadora Galvez Perez, or to learn about Trevor Paglen's disrupted artistic space project. As we balance cautiously along our topic's high wire, we encounter Dani Gal's radio play "Vertiginous. Part I, Camilla."
