APT London (A Piece of Town)
APT London (A Piece of Town), a photographic series, maps unimposing objects in the public space of the City of London, which seem to have been not yet commercialised. Each photograph shows a carefully chosen object, and a text on top details the object's material, measurements and features.

Part of this work's concept is that the purchaser of each photograph also receives a map of the site so that he or she is enabled to find the mapped object in public space. APT is an ongoing series; before London it had been realised in Zurich in 2003. It will be continued in other cities all over the world where property prices are high.
Miriam Steinhauser's artistic practice undertakes the attempt to explore reality. After working with performance and video, she became increasingly interested in public and architectural spaces. Her research-based yet performative work looks into the influence of commercialisation and globalisation on spaces. She works with two- and three-dimensional media as well as with live events.
