They remind us that emptiness is a temporary and subjective state.Ĭentech (former Rio Tinto-Alcan planetarium) Empty space or emptied spaces remain inhabited by their past and potential for reinvention. By visiting vacant spaces, we revisit erased histories and invisible territories which these places - or lack thereof - remain the guardians of. The concepts explored are those of Emptiness, Space/Place, Memory, Territory/Land, Resource, Ownership, Expropriation and Time/Transience/Permanence. We then decided to explore the concepts of Emptiness and Vacancy through a film that would be our pretext and strategy for accessing vacant spaces and contributions from various artists, thinkers and social activists. It became indispensable to think not only of how people connect with empty spaces, but also of how they are disconnected from them. However the pandemic and our reflections on “why and how emptiness exists in the city” soon diverted our interest.

The initial point of this research was to collect different strategies for accessing vacant spaces through a series of interviews. We wish to invite a broader community to become acquainted with our process and work-in-progress, provide us with feedback, and interact with the concepts that we have developed around the notions of emptiness and vacancy. At the term of a research creation project around the notion of vacancy, the Grey Areas Desk of the Office of Rules and Norms has produced A Film about Emptiness and a complementary Thesaurus of No-place.
