How Many Foot
Performance
How do we measure a space together? This participatory performance reconsiders measurement as a practice of relation — an embodied structure through which bodies negotiate distance, weight, and belonging. Inspired by a historical proposal by Jacob Köbel [1], a 16th-century surveyor, to define units of length through the collective body, the work transforms measurement into an experiment in collective balance and mutual support.
