In Flat 603 I started a project called “The s. method”. It’s a research about the possibility to change my life. Most people are happily living in one of the suitable chambers of our society. Brought in a specific way, they know how to handle, how to react, how to live. I am one of those people. Living my life. Full of routines, full of repetitive moves, and with al lot of formal ideas. And having fun. Nothing to be ashamed of, so I believe. But there is always this important question in the back of my head: Is this the right life, is this the perfect life, is this the only way I can live? In “The s. method” I will try to achieve a new way of life. In this first step in Flat 603 I will do research about the variety of possibilities in which the western (in particular Dutch) people are living their life. How similar or different are these lives? In Flat 603 there will be a presentation of these researches, including my first steps in trying to change my life. This project will finally result in a new way of life, which will be documented in a yearly booklet. So “The s. method” will be a lifelong project. The presentation in Flat 603 is the first of hopefully many presentations about “The s. method”. www
