An artist has decided to live in a converted skip for a year to make a statement about what he calls the crazy cost of living in London. Harrison Marshall, co-founder of Caukin Studio, moved into his converted skip in Bermondsey, south-east London, in January, and aims to live in it for a year.
The 28-year-old said the move was “not intended to be a solution to the rising cost of living” but was instead intended to get people talking about the cost of living in the capital. He said: “I don’t expect other people to pursue this or replicate it.”
He added: “Really, it’s more of a statement and something which tackles or talks about the issue in a light-hearted way and highlights just how crazy it is to live in central London. For me to live in this area, this was the only option for me to do that, which is just mad.”
