A lift, a rectangular parallelepiped with a door, could be seen as a completely simple space in our daily lives. According to the film, directed by Marc Isaacs in 2001, the filmmaker recorded the residents in a tower block lift in London. As those residents became trust him and start to make a joke or sometimes tell him about their lives and secrets. It is clear that even one square meter can be happened stories so differently. Those stories can happen in just few seconds, which overlapped to a new moving portrait again and again in the vertical community.
The imagination in a lift can is unlimited. Those drawings represent the possibilities that might happen in a lift. A dirty pervert, a woman doing her makeup, a couple arguing with each other or the residents are throwing their rubbish, for example. Some of the residents might know each other, some might not but all the stories may be related to each others. However, although the relation cannot be seen directly, there is something behind the surface, existing between the people. Looking at my subject in the 1st term, Bio-electromagnetic field, a simple space with different living aura, produced by human beings, the moving lift can be a good example to represent the idea of living aura.
Marc Isaacs. 2001. Lift.
