S6 Episode 2 : on images

PRIVACY SHOW(S)

I HEAR CHARLOTTE AND BOLIS LAUGHING. THEY TALK ABOUT INFRASTRUCTURE, URBANISM, MIGRATION. "I AM A WORLD CITIZEN, I DON'T BELIEVE IN BORDERS", SHE SAYS. THEY WINK AT ME, I LAUGH AS WELL.

YESTERDAY, I WROTE A TEXT, TODAY, I SHOW IMAGES FOR CBB'S NEW HOME IN BRUSSELS. WHAT A NEIGHBORHOOD! WHAT A CORNER! I PRESENT IN A CATALOG, EXAMPLES OF WHAT THE PUBLIC FACE TO THE CITY MAY LOOK LIKE, AS WELL AS THE LIGHTS AND SHADOWS OF THEIR PRIVATE CYCLES. WALLS, ROOFS, OPENINGS. MOODS, TEMPERAMENTS, HUMOR. FROM THE CATALOG, THE BODY OF THE HOUSE WILL BE ENGENDERED.

I ALSO SHOW A MOVIE ABOUT THEIR FACES. THE TALKS THAT SHAPE THEM, THE VIEWS OF THE WORLD THAT MAKE C&B TALK, THEIR DESIRES, FEARS, HESITATIONS. I PRESENT WITH EXISTING SCENOGRAPHIES, OBJECTS, SUBJECTS, ACTIONS, DIALOGUES AND SOUNDS, HOW TO CHARACTERIZE AND BRING INTO PROPORTION THE PRIVATE AND THE PUBLIC. FROM THE MOVIE, THE FACES OF C&B WILL BE ENGENDERED.

WITH MILLIONS OF IMAGES AND MOVIES FROM PANORAMAS OF CINEMA, I QUALIFY THE SPACES OF THEIR NEW FAMILY HOUSE.

S6 Episode 3 : ON MODELS

THE FACE(S) PLAY

AN ARCHITECTONIC STAGEPLAY

ON THE ICONICITY OF THE HOUSE

ON THE TEMPERAMENT OF THE COMPARTITIONS

ON THE COMPOSURE OF THE CYCLES

we deal intensively with an electric model of the site; the Talks, the Colours, the Moods are located and played in and on this model within a space that can take any media. We use online libraries of 3d models, images, materials, textures, videos, skies, techniques of construction, drawings, filters, and render specific, discrete locations of the site. A demountable approximation that puts into proportion that which is heard and that which is seen.
