School is a place where students obtain knowledge, learn about ethics, values and a tacit knowing in daily life. For this series, I used a representation of a student as my response to the rapid changes in various spaces in a city. How much difference is there between the things we learn from teachers and books and the actual situations we face in our daily lives? Students seem to be more curious of their surroundings and grown-ups tend to be uncertain most of the time. Is the city we live in more absurd, or does the pedagogy of our time never actually catch up with the world of constant changes?
