,Way Home" is an installation that deals with the fear of FLINTA* in urban space. Why do we feel fear in public space? How do we encounter it on the street? Are there mechanisms to avoid it? The aim is to understand the so- called "spaces of fear", to identify the fear-inducing factors and to find a resistance response to them. The female read body becomes an active
acting body, which moves in different movement sequences away from the restrictive parameters of society and gives impetus and courage for one's own detachment from the constructed restriction of movement in urban space.


Months of research, interviews with just mentioned persons as well as mapping of avoided spaces on their way home give the form for the installation. An audio text, narrating the way home of a FLINTA* person, accompanies the recipient through it and gives intimate impressions into the pool of feelings and the spiral of thoughts, resulting from numerous
collected experiences.
