The Game in the In-Between takes the Glasgow Subway as a site of observation, exploring how strangers negotiate personal space through distance, position, gaze and subtle bodily adjustments. It focuses on the unspoken behaviours that are collectively understood in public transport, and how they form a silent spatial language of distance and coexistence.

Through ethnographic observation, spatial recording and visual translation, the project transforms relationships between passengers, movement, distance and behaviour into points, lines, gaps and symbols. These elements are developed into the Keep Your Distance typeface and a series of rule-based visual games.

Presented as a newspaper, the final work combines text, folding, symbols and puzzles to guide readers through a process of observing, recognising, decoding and choosing. Rather than providing a fixed explanation for these behaviours, the project uses visual communication to explore how space becomes information, how behaviour becomes a sign, and how strangers continuously create room for coexistence within the gaps of shared space.
