Abstract

This visual essay explores the possibility of everyday spaces to be theorized as interstices, i.e. in-between or temporary spaces. The images are black-and-white video snapshots of urban spaces in several cities in the German state of Thuringia showing the everyday movement of people and cars, and in some cases, spaces that are used by a limited number of inhabitants. Through these images, the author questions the normal nature of everyday spaces by exploring Rodrigo Vidal’s notion of interfragmentary space, which refers to urban fragments contained within any open space in the city. This article highlights the interplay between everydayness and interstitiality, which can redefine people’s perception of their environment.
