I’ve been fascinated by the oscillation between the ugly and the beautiful and I’ve been interested in the superimposition of social inscribed into architecture.
It is a multi-layered cultural phenomenon. These buildings, cold and impersonal in the real space, couldn’t be reduced to ugly mass architecture.
I’m reshaping the real and fictive spaces in order to present these living and working environments as organic structures.
Pulse I
City after city and place after another I return home, close my eyes and try to remember what I have seen. Streets, shops, small architectural details. It’s all there. Except for the people.
Memory transforms the individuals into collective shadows – a human sea.
I go back on the street, set my camera on the tripod and start recording. My own memory
Roaming Memory I
Just as one finds that at the atomic level particles do not physically touch, Dali suspends even the water above the shore in “Leda Atomica”.
Mesmerized by the idea of suspension captured in the painting, Halsman “suspends” both Dali and “Leda” in his studio.
This is a tribute to Phillipe Halsman and his “rule of the missing feature”
