Ground floor storage cabin - 3 days, 10 persons, several assumptions, 54 possibilities is a participatory intervention in a cabin of a Self-Storage at the ground floor in Vienna and a video of this intervention. Over the last two decades self-storages were and still are increasing in the city of Vienna. This has to be seen in the contex of less and more expensive housing space in a growing city, and more and more things most of us have. While self-storages seem to be a welcome ‚filler‘ for vacant ground floor spaces, former pubs, restaurants and workshops, they at the same time - in storing private things - close and privatise the ground floor affecting the public space in front of the buildings. In one of these secluded spaces, I started a playful exchange, bringing some kind of social life behind the closed and uncommunicative doors and windows.
