Metaform Sketch .

In my metaform, I am not interested in re-creating the exact scenario of the fire, but in using cues from the original circumstances to create a space that will evoke a similar emotional response from my viewer as the original space did.
Installing my metaform at the site of the original fire would comment on the function of a specific space's role as a stimulus for feeling.

properties of the space:
poor visibility and way-finding
expectations not met regarding possibilities for exit
time restriction
outside symbolizes freedom and death

sounds:
fire
people inside yelling
firemen and people watching from outside yelling
pounding
people hitting the ground outside

emotional response:
anxiety
claustrophobia
fear
alarm
