INTENTIONS - Other’s shadows are much more revealing about yourself than your own shadows would be about you. Thus, the observation becomes activity. Shadows as the other, the self-awareness, dealing with a swing between the emotional extremes and the collision between the traces of personal life and identity and an unstoppable larger force -machines. The blinds that go up to reveal the light is a metaphoric play on the notion of control is up, more is up, important is up, happy is up and of course the blinds that go down to darken the walls are the opposite. Looped sounds of the announcements / authority control / power / unconsciousness - Attention passengers. Blinds (metering) - sounds (tone - metering) For a moment, someone is lost of direction. The individual and the larger state. The fragments and the whole. the human condition.
interventions - sketches providing ideas of containment - suspension and channeling - explosion / fragmentation
Theoretical Frame and Own research direction - I am drawn to a research phase that involves testing and finding margins in the potential of space to arouse a confrontation with our inner-being. The end project is to be sensorial and its existence depends on people and for them to question why this space exists. Can space really arouse the hidden-self within us and help us to become more conscious and honest with ourselves? I am interested in an educational space: a focus in dismantling structures and then remake them, revealing hidden aspects of social institutions and constructs in the process. By putting objects through a process of transformation, I am interested in a work or new dimensions of meaning in the individual’s self-awareness for a well-rounded knowledge.
Focus on sustainable school - interchangeable with a hospital – and or circus. The question is between the boundaries of seriousness and play.
