It is truly a strange thing when a steam pipe bursts under an abandoned building in the dead of winter, but that’s exactly what happened under the Clinic Building at Greystone Park State Hospital in 2007, a month before the building was unceremoniously knocked down.  The steam congregated near the ceiling of the abandoned asylum infirmary, condensing on the pipes and dripping down in regular patterns - and creating these ice stalagmites.  An hour after taking this photograph, demolition workers came into the building and chased us through the tunnels; we had to hide in an attic in 0 degree weather for hours while cops searched for us.  The next time I drove out there, there was no trace that a building had ever stood in this spot.

Mayra Sergio’s coffee fueled Sensorial Shelter began as an investigation into what brings a sense of belonging to people. Sergio explains: “Being a foreigner myself, I started questioning how the spaces and objects around me interfere in that feeling.”

Food carries a highly evocative power that enables one to feel ‘at home’ through the physical ritual of preparing it: the look, smell and taste. It has the power of momentarily becoming architecture, of sheltering our bodies through our senses. My personal story and fascination led me to choose coffee as my material. During the days of the fair, I will perform making bricks out of coffee and building up this sensorial shelter. Each day the installation will gain a different shape and this fragile, powerful and impregnating shelter will grow or collapse.
