HAPPY LONELINESS

Public Intervention & Private Collaboration

PORT NOARLUNGA (AUS) 2019

Fifty-one handwritten signs installed in public space in the South Australian coastal town of Port Noarlunga articulate absurd paradoxes and contradictions.

I developed the poetic HAPPY LONELINESS intervention in public space based on conversations about feeling lonely with John Hunter, an 85-year-old retired man from Port Noarlunga. John and I met while fishing at the Jetty.The HAPPY LONELINESS project wonders, if it is possible to simultaneously experience contradictory feelings like loneliness and happiness.
