Anywhere reloaded #03, painting on paper, 150×120cm, 2007
AR will be my main project during this year at Transmedia. I would like to develop further this research on the relationship between the objective status of our environment and the way we perceive it, this applied specifically to urban environment.
How do we fulfill this gap between us and the outside world? How could perception be translated and modulated by different media, according their own properties, in order to correspond to our own vision?
The relationship between us and our environement is not only managed by a functional aspect but also by the “affect” we develop in it. To understand this notion of affect and how it interfere, I started to translate my perception of urban spaces through photo, painting, video,…
I’m also interested by the ambiguity that could appears in this merging of media. The specificity of each one could be found in the different images and make them more complex.
But it’s first of all a certain atmosphere, a dis-connected time-space which can bring a certain idea of beauty in a fully factitious environment, that I’m looking for. How contemplation could emerge from artificiality?
In the environment where I move, there is no more question of natural landscapes but of ultra-functional urban space. Our brain adapt itself, try to generate visual pleasure and can create a sublimated vision of our environment. Thus a corridor, a waiting room, a staging area, a non-space can become contemplative, meaning generator.
