Sit down provides the visitors to become a part of the exhibition, reflect themselves thru the confrontation afterwards, and give the opportunity to expose themselves with their own way of sitting without loading the pattern of optinons of the experienced.
Thematically the tangible performance shall lead the visitors into the public space and confront them with its social and political dimensions, without loosing the artistical look.

In the public space there are constantly (often nonverbal) discussions about how much space every person should have. The "Riot Pant Project" shows a lot of great arguments for personal space. The founder, two students from Berlin, Elena Buscaino und Mina Bonakdar, set an example: "Give us space!" Stop with male dominance in the public space. Vintage pants printed in onto the crotch with simple confrontative slogans.
And that's what the visitor can do, too:
Print their pants.
