The Excessively Long Shoes

 

The Excessively Long Shoes are performative objects that were designed to question our spacial and rhythmic freedom within a dense and heavily populated capital city such as London.

‘Efficiency has taken over most of the daily interactions, architecture and objects in an urban context. As a consequence, we have lost control over determining our individual pace and interpretation of time; the diversity in our rhythmic patterns has become diffused. The excessively long shoes offer a way of consciously imposing a slower pace on the wearer, helping them to break free from externally imposed rhythms in the urban environment.’
