Of images and places
eternal time - infinite place
CONCEPT:
Contents and containers, reconstructing public space. The
project attempts are to arrive at certain alternate spaces that may
exemplify a non existing place, making the container of psychic space
and the content identical in nature. The idea of representation becomes
an act of intervention in the real space; declaring its capacity to
transform itself into an imaginary space lost of its notions of geography
and time.
DESCRIPTION:
The project started by reconstructing public spaces
using the sphere as a metaphor, with the intention of describing relations
between man and environment. The exploration deals with 3-dimensional
videos showing places without a beginning or an end, giving them an
infinite dimension regardless to their history and identity. Other
aspects deal with the collection of images of people inhabiting public
places and mechanically subtracting them from their context. I compose
different places of different times with the intention of restoring
their essence. A reconstructed reality composed of different fragments
in sequence opens a possibility of change in terms of presence and
absence. Modifying spatially the presentation of temporal relations,
the position of the observer changes and recreates the real, mingling
it with the bizarre, merging these dichotomies in terms of a unitary
thought.
