Introduction

“Circles of Space” is an ongoing public exhibition that started on Vancouver Island, Canada, in 2018, taking place on busy streets and other areas in Victoria and Vancouver. Inspired by great forerunners such as Marina Abramović (The Artist is Present, 2010) and various social projects and contemplative practices, silence is invited into human relations as a way to connect beyond ideas, concepts, and stories. Truly seeing each other and being seen can nurture our spirit and help remind us of - even celebrate; our nature as human beings.
