a Complex Situation- realised part1

I live in berea ,downtown Johannesburg. My fathers fears about living in the city are fears expressed by many a people hence the fact that there is stories that have created a reality for those living in it. Patra what the hell are you talking about. Come i explain...A year ago we purchased a bachelor flat during the swirl of the renovation of the berea/hillbrow/yeoville,to find our selves subjected to certain laws that insure our "safety": only a certain amount of people can enter ones domecilia, A valid South African passport insures you entry...sorry for you if it isn't[ present on your body].

This was my story for my hood. I want to talk about the fact that as much as i haven't experienced the pass laws many people in my generation today go through this process by way of these requirements.Under the conviction that it is for their safety.,

A Complex Situation is about realising your space your socialisation within these limits...and the limits have been stacked for tonites supposed perfomance. it started while i was in the process of securing the times for the night yous were gonna make,18:30 it was. But due to the numbers that have expressed interest,my superintendant has expressed his disinterest for this"event" taking place under his time and responsibility.A letter of permission was submited and was this noon rejected on the ground of this being a commotion.Maybe it was the potential consequence of the story told:whatever it is the Complex Situation is ultimately designed for one to shift their focus from the space as protection[ie: four walls] to that of realising space as inticement with the architecture, we claim to have made, calling the shots...in this complex situation protection and all it's paranoia got the upper hand.but we have the body...
