Think about this: a city is always pointing to you. You are located. You are written on the map. You are present. You are in the list. How do you move? What do you see?
MIDTERM COMMON EXHIBITION Points of view and productions from educational projects october 2014
1. Poster YOU ARE HERE Print many copies to be placed in the schools in varous places.
You are here. During my stay in Vienna for CP first coordination meeting, I go through the city without precise direction and when I find a public plan I stop to give a look. I’m not searching for a path, I just want to observe the shape of the place where I am. I do not ask, but the plan points to me to inform that I’m here/there. I’m part of this plan, I’m written in. I am surprised to see how the city is represented in an abstract way. Lines, geometrical shapes. It could be everywhere. It’s just a city. But I’m now present, I’m in the list just as the Kaiserappartments, the Schatzkammer... How do I move now? And what do I see going from to the small written city (the plan) to the big written city (the city)?
OUR POINTS OF VIEW ON EUROPEAN SPACES PHOTO PHOTO PROJECT PROJECT ourpointsofview.org
Selected pictures from points of view 1, 2, 3 14 big posters for each point of view All selected pictures to be printed on A4 or A3 to compose a big mosaic
Looking back to three first points of view: 1: ww: it is more about the idea of threshold, this line separating us from the world outside. (To go beyond thresholds, isn’t that the real pupil’s work?). Looking to the city through a window marks 3 points: me - my body, my look -, the ideal line, and the city. We are at the starting point, just before the moment in which our vision could get into a singular experience. And, in fact, how do those 4 european cities look like from pupils’ windows? Do we have the dense, complicated urban fabric? 2: pictures in the city : we go out, we try to learn something about our city using digital pictures, but, actually, the city is already full of pictures, it is shaped by pictures. It is an enormous canvas where powers (any kind) like to show their crystallized image. How do we deal with them? How do we read them? What exactly can we call a picture? 3: head up; it is more a body experience, a performative act: I walk the city, with my feet I feel it, and then I stop, just to experience how my look can be oriented. I try to go beyond my ground condition (being part of a very complicated text that it is most of the time very difficult to read), trying to go above, and, at the same time, still attached to the ground. I’m here; I try to enlarge my vision. What do I see?

FINAL RALLY LUXEMBOURG 1 Points of view and productions from educational projects june 13th 2015
1: PERSONAL PHOTOBOOK, A5, 10 pages, My point of view on points of view: what does it mean to live in cities today? Every pupil picks up pictures form the whole photo project and build up his own point of view thinking about the title question. All pictures can be chosen as a visual matter about the city. In which way do you establish a questioning relation with the idea of city throgh pictures taken using suggested points of view? Could tou create a new pint of view?
2. A postcard series to be printed in large scale and to be distributed in school and in some places in the city during the final performance. 3. Babel tower, postcards, educational projects exhibition in the school.
