Staging Ground: infrastructures, performance, and bodies in movement assembles on-site investigations, critical reflections, and performance scores offering new ways to think, make, and inhabit mobility infrastructures. Grounded in the metropole of Grand Paris, they aim to offer strategies to be staged anywhere that infrastructural transformations are shifting urban grounds. The book stems from a residency programme hosted by Theatrum Mundi in Grand Paris as part of the LINA European Architecture Programme. From 2023 to 2025, it invited six LINA fellows – emerging spatial practitioners and artists – to move and think in the changing landscapes of north-eastern Paris and Plaine Commune. Accompanying their work, four commissioned essays and a photo series frame the urgency of new tools able to bridge infrastructural and bodily scales, and reflect on the learnings offered by the residency projects. A design concept by Athens-based practice Typical Organization draws on and subverts the visual language of the French road sign system.
