Abstract
Space has a very important position in the modern societies. Space becomes a ‘holy grail’ that contested by lots of people. Towards the Indonesia election on April, the positions of space in Bandung are very interesting to examine. The election participants from the DPR, DPD, and Provincial DPRD, City/Regency to Presidential Candidates are increasingly competing in campaigns through Alat Peraga Kampanye (Campaign props: Banners, Billboards, Posters and Sticker). Using Lefebvre's space theory, this research examines the problem of the city as a public-owned space that is dominated by certain social classes (Politician). And through the Theory of Aesthetics Jacques Ranciere, this research will examine the designs of 2019 Election participants in the campaign props. Both of them are important to examine because they are the very basis for the ideology mechanisms of production, reproduction, and construction in our society today towards the election
