I am going to investigate my own interpretation of the ‘wall and the crack’ between mauritanga and posthumanism. Below, is some of the information as well as key quotations, that, I managed to decode from Kim Solga’s, ‘The line, the crack, and possibility of architecture’ 

The idea of the ‘crack and the wall’ is the main concept which I wish to address within ‘The Line, the crack, and the possibility of architecture: figure, ground, feminist performance’ by author Kim Solga. Solga, mentions that “The crack marks the spot where performance and architecture collide with one another, where plastic production comes alive as theatre, because the crack is architecture ruptured by the power of the mobile, expansive, and manipulable organic body.” (Solga, 8). So, the ‘wall’ serves almost as a platform for action to occur. The blockade of architecture. When both architecture and performance come into contact it creates new propositions, the culmination and build up of exterior forces creates a ‘crack’. with current paradigms and ideas to create new and interesting revelations.   

“The wild fig is the sign of a guerrilla garden, a rebel habitation: hybrid identities thrive within such a space, mark accidents of shared dwelling—two conditions of performance’s own hybrid, somewhat renegade process of coming-into-being.” (Solga, 9)
