By George! Hidden Networks
Family Unit - Chill Trailer is a series of constantly changing performances in the hidden network of Sydney’s laneways. The Trailer is characterised by its ability to appear and disappear without a trace, and by its capacity to stage numerous events displaying the varied talents and interests of team members and other users.
The Chill Trailer is an adaptable mobile unit that accommodates a multitude of uses and occupies a wide range of site configurations. In essence it is a self contained shelter with associated containers, come furnishings, pot plants, and individual pod shelters that can unpack and pack into a transportable trailer.
Family Unit – Chill Trailer is a process as well as a product, as if the various locations which host the exhibition are laboratories or workshops. This work operates with the dynamic and unpredictable variables of the City, a City that is never static and never sleeps.
