The Space itself marked out by me. Photos not in chronological order.





I marked off an approximately 1 metre by 2 metres on the footpath next to an entrance way on the north side of W47th Street, Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, MO. It was a blank piece of concrete, on my right were steps leading to another road, to my left was an entrance way that eventually lead to the doors for a parking building. The wall i was in front of was blank and not marked with any signage. But very interestingly on the wall above me there was a small dome security / surveillance camera.
In the course of the 25 minutes that i took to act out this securing of public space i was approached by 3 groups of people, all genuinely believing that i was a security guard employed by the Plaza.

Thanks to A.C.E who did an epic job of filming and photographing!
