Layer by layer.
Depersonalization of appearance actualizes the problem of harmonization of personal and surrounding spaces. A costume becomes a point of contact for the spatial shells. A costume is able to transform, layer by layer, merge with and even move away from the "public space", keeping its personal dialogue with the city.

History
The farm of Økern was among the oldest in the former municipality of Aker. The earliest preserved document where Økern is mentioned dates back to 1279. In the 13th century the farm was owned by landowner Audun Hugleiksson, and it later became a property of the Church.
Among the owners from the 17th century onwards were Ulrik Frederik Gyldenløve (from 1679), Lauritz Jacobsssøn Falch, Paul Peterssøn Vogt, Ole Christopher Wessel, Peter Collett and Ludvig Mariboe (who lived at the farm until his death in 1841).Økernveien, an old road to the former city border, was named after the farm in 1879
KABELTÅRNET
Det vi i dag kaller Kabelgata var tidligere Standard Telefon og Kabelfabrikk på Økern. I dag er fabrikken nedlagt og som så mange industriområder står landskap og bygninger foran store endringsprosesser. Tårnet ble først tatt i bruk i 1969, og var opprinnelig et ekstrudertårn for plastisolerte høyspentkabler, PEX-kabler.
