A Daily Act is a project by Atelier HOKO that highlights art in the everyday and how seemingly ordinary actions could be creative responses within public realms. It seeks to spark curiousity about what is often overlooked in our daily frenzy by encouraging passersby to explore everyday actions, surrounding objects and daily routines through suggested activities.
Part documentation and “workbook”, this publication invites readers to attempt some of the instructions and respond to questions asked in the process of negotiating this project.
