As a result of the continuous human expansion, wild animals are losing their natural habitat. The wildlife is forced to adapt to these changes – venturing to the cityscape looking for new places to live and find food. Some species are not able to overcome these changes, while other species have no problem to adapt. With how we live in cities, we also influence the urban-wildlife. However, we do not realise the consequences of our actions, because they are not immediate. If we do not realise the importance of how much influence we have, can we take responsibility and reflect on how we live?
So Far, So Good is a time based, performative sculpture consisting of wire-frame representations of four urban animals which can be commonly seen in the city of Aalborg and its surroundings; a pigeon, a rabbit, a fox and a seagull. Inside the wire-frames is a balloon, which can be inflated by pressing a button. The viewers are free to decide whether they will push the button at all, or whether they will hold it down until the sculpture explodes.
