Through the use of architectural sites and building materials commonly found within the urban landscape, Atom Deguire sets out to address ownership, usage and the resulting pedestrian movement through various public spaces. Deguire’s point of departure is typically a location that provides an occasion to reshape, reclaim or redirect the original functionality and context of the chosen site. Deguire’s work often highlights points of interest through the use of common materials and various underlying conceptual frameworks. These elements give rise to works that testify to their own mutability and transience, that when successful, subtly embed themselves into the existing architecture.
