The combined work, 'Welcome To Your City' will see conversations with members of the public turned into customised shoebox housing units. Each one of these homes will come to represent something about each contributing passer-by; their nationality, personal story or unique take on London. Over the course of the residency, each of these homes will be placed together to create a gigantic cityscape that will grow and intensify as it welcomes more and more inhabitants, eventually evolving into a collaborative vision of an alternative London.
To help with this task the team are asking people to email, their name, where they are from, and a picture and message outlining what they love, or loathe, about life in the capital. Go to www.thehospitalclub.com, and click on the Selfridges section to send in your contributions. Beatrice Galilee
