We went to 13 Rooms curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist and Klaus Biesenbach, the 27th Kaldor Public Art Project. There were lots of people queued up for this free event. One of the rooms was 45cm tall and had one person lying in it with a ceiling lamp. I didn't feel comfortable photoing this person in such an uncomfortable space. Another of the rooms I really liked as the artists were inside it on a small plinth - two young women - Sarah Clark and Nicole Beaumont - the artist was Clark Beaumont and the room called Coexisting 2013. The two women were twined around each other and spoke softly to one another. I thought that this room had a beautifully edged vulnerability and truth about it. This was my favourite room. I like the centreing effect of female energy.
