Drive With Care, 201313:00 video
For Drive With Care Takala investigated the life of a teacher at an elite boarding school in the U.S. The artist examines the boundaries within this particular community by re-staging significant moments with a necessary dry humour. The project explores strategies for survival, as faculty members in the school also negotiate their own space within the institution, finding loopholes, places to breathe, whilst being careful not to violate shared rules.
