The video projection Beyond Control presents an ironic view on urban planning, reversing its rules in order to create a space for chance and unexpected solutions. The builder is blindfolded and is constructing a plan for a fictive city, the major sources for the construction being memory and intuition. The typical rationality and foreknowledge of urban planning is therefore left behind, together
with the need for control. The structure arising is variable, irrational and unbound.
