Edition Notes

"This book is the result of over ten years of photographic documentation and research on the variety of modifications and inventions that people make in public. From roadside memorials to makeshift barriers, people consistently alter shared common spaces to suit their needs, or let both man-made and natural aberrations run wild. The result is a new kind of public space - with creative and inspiring moments that push past the original planned design of cities."--Page 4 of cover.

"With contributions by Polonca Lovšin ; Joseph Heathcott and Damon Rich ; Boštjan Bugarič, Ana Čeligoj, Maša Cvetko, Marko Horvat, Meta Kos, Darjan Mihajlovič, Danijel Modrej, Maja Modrijan, Sonja Zlobko."
