Room-installation made from peoples’ hair

I started this project in January 2010 in Berlin, collecting cut hair from barber shops each month, then spinning it into a yarn, then knitting the yarn into a big object/space much larger than a human being. From January 2011 to May 2011, I also had the opportunity to collect hair in the same way in Graz, Austria. The hair from a different city was knitted by me into separate bodies/objects.
