Urban Labyrinthine Dreamscape: Experiments about Repetition / Dimension / City

JUNHONG HUANG





Remaking is a re-turning, Dappling the present with the futurity of memory. Dreaming is a truth, an incomplete truth. Shards of time circulate tiny clues ready for the taking. A sleeping body Presents a constellation of reverberating sensation, soaked with imaginative cues space is saturated. Remaking the World I Adrian Parr 1

serpentine gallery Pavilion I sou fujimoto, london, 2013 What the team proposed here is a building like landscape similar to cloud, where people can diversely occupy the place, or a transparent spatial topography. The pavilion is composed of delicate 3-dimensional lattices of 400 mm cubes and 800 mm cubes. The whole building is in the shape of a deformed ring, which can be entered inside from two entrances. In addition, they become a topographical form, which offers a step where people can sit, climb and listen to lecture. It is not just a building and also not mere greenery, and it is something intermediate between nature and artifacts.

the obliteration room I yayoi kusama, 2011 This is the collaboration installation by the Japanese female artist Yayoi Kusuma who is famous for her dotted paintings. The installation, which is called the Obliteration Room, within the interior, an all-white, domestic setting containing familiar household objects such as a kitchen counter, couch, and teapot, are all painted the same shade. As visitors enter inside the dwelling, they are handed a set of stickers, each a different brightly colored dot of a varying size. These participants are asked to leave their mark wherever they choose, placing the sticky circles anywhere and everywhere. THe space gradually transforms as a result of the interaction and the mass accumulation of the dots ultimately changes the white interior until it becomes an unrecognizable blur of colors.

Images of the high density urban fabric demonstrate the repetitive tectile properties of growing cities. The increasing trend of modular components sometimes confuses the identification of a citizen or an inhabitant. The copying of modules to some extend lead to losing the sense of belonging.

urban labyrinthine dreamscape

León Ferrari (1920-2013) was an Argentinian conceptual artist who worked with a series of extremely different medias through the years. Trained as an engineer, he gained notoriety in the 1960s thanks to his polemical works on religion and politics. Exiled in 1976 in Brazil, he started a series of plans using heliography, the technique traditionally employed by architects,until the advent of the computers, in order to reproduce their drawings. Combining letraset icons to hand sketches, he invented labyrintic worlds which became part of a series called “The architecture of Madness”. From a far point of view, the large images look as chaotic patterns of walls, people, furnitures and cars. At a closer look it is possible to realize that the symbols stage paradoxical situations in which, i.e., people line up to enter empty spaces or are confined in a series of small cubicles. The paradoxes can be read as metaphors of contemporary cities where alienated individuals wander – without any apparent logic – through irrational urban patterns.The works turn the technical drawings into a narrative and symbolic device filled with sarcasm.

where is the mind, when the body is here? I pushwagner’s soft city, 1970

ideas of interest

The cyclical story of Soft City, artist Pushwagner‘s 1970’s graphic novel and magnum opus, is rooted in classic dystopian sci-fi. Although echoing Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, the social polarization of Blade Runner and the imagery of Hilberseimer’s Großstadt, the true source of Terje Brofos (the original name of 1940-born Norwegian artist) was the dystopian visions of novelist Axel Jensen, whose books he contributed illustrations. Life in Soft City follows some simple rules: everyone’s happy, everyone drives, everything is regulated by the same rhythm (you’re late, you’re fired), the same routine and the same lifestyle. The innerscape is as much a prison as the outerscape. Such a technocratic society is regulated by the figure of “The Boss”, a bureaucrat who sits behind a massive desk of levers and switches and controls the world via a giant screen. Much more than the themes, which appear a little clichéd, and the critique of power and greed, a bit naïve at its best, what intrigues us is the artist’s obsessive creation of an hyper-detailed world of factories, military death camps, square-shapedwindows-uniform architectures, and a general disenchanting view of modern life in the city through pop-art symbolism and Magrittian surrealism. Discovered after years of oblivion, Soft City was one of the standout works in the 2008 Berlin Biennale, while a Norwegian film (trailer here) released in 2011 documented the artist’s turbulent life.

Firstly, Julie used 20 screens showing the videos of 30 artists sleeping in the same setting: all in white. The repetition here took away all the distractions of the useless context and the viewers can have strong focus on the artists. This technique shares some similar thoughts with my interest, even though everyone is situated in the same setting, by doing so, I can easily compare and define each individual, eg. there is one artist turning over his body to sleep with his back facing the camera and another one using the sheet to cover her whole body except the head while she is sleeping; or you can tell quickly one of the artists moves a lot during his sleep, etc. As a result, repetition brings a clear sense of variations which can be easily indicated. Even though the representation is simple, the repetition generates the power of this art piece. Secondly, the installation breaks the normal art display method, which is that the work is usually put at or near people’s horizontal eye level. Julie was informed that the exhibition space was about two typical floors high, which makes her decide to hang the screens above. This altered the way people usually see the artwork and demonstrates the hierarchy between the sleepers and the viewers. The spatial relations emphasize the experience since there is a sense of projection of the artists’ thinking over my own thinking. The almost steady human figures provide time for me to reflect this visit, and this is the reason why I created several collages to present my reflections. The collages are the outcomes of the artists’ dreams projecting on my mind. The idea of overlaying dreams guides me to this design proposal as ‘dream’ was once said to be the projection of the reality including people you interact with. The design is also trying to show this idea in some way.

preliminary design project I elevated dreams Instead of the visual aspects of the installation, I’d rather put emphasis on the fact that the work is more about experience and reflection. What I proposed here is more like an architectural device or composition which re-interpret the work.

preliminary design project

I would use three words to describe my design: projection as the concept, repetition as the technique and ‘chaos’ as the sense. In general, the ‘Elevated Dreams’ is the collection of the repeated and stacked ‘bed’ modules to compose the ‘chaos’ of time, space and body. Visions of overlaying views of ‘sleepers’ demonstrate a further and abstract idea that to bring into awareness the characteristics of the object that correspond with the dreamer's personality. The composition consists of the repetition of one single module, with rotation, overlaying and stacking all the components are connected with stairs. Each unit is regarded as a ‘bed’ with the box skeleton made of steel and a hammock made of rope net. The contrasting material properties indicate the states of awaking and dreaming. The hammock itself is a flexible structure, the reason for using hammock is based on the fact that dreams mainly occur in the REM (rapid eye movement) stage of sleep, when brain activity is high and resembles that of being awake. So dreaming is actually an active state of mind and using the hammock enables people to experience such unstable situation. The repetition and stacking process constructs a mass or chaos of orders, the design is also trying to present the vertical relations between the sleepers and the awake as Julie Rrap did. Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung believed that the unconscious mind re-enacts the glimpses of the past in the form of a dream, and dreaming is not a purely individual concern, that all dreams are part of one great web of psychological factors. Dreams are seen as projections of parts of the self that have been ignored, rejected, or suppressed. Jung also argued that one could consider every person in the dream to represent an aspect of the dreamer, which he called the subjective approach to dreams. Here the idea of projections of others is being discussed. When a person is lying on the ‘bed’, he can see other people laying above him while he is being watched by others laying beneath. I really want to use this spatial relation to present the concept of overlaying/ projection. By saying so, each module can be seen as one dream, the other modules can be another dream, the whole composition can be a totally different dream, this composed chaos is uncertain and yet to be explored. The rich and various definitions are all created by repetition of one simple unit. With the plethora of orders, I hope people can really think about himself as individual and his relationship with a greater unity and how can he situate himself into it.

The path Is drawn on stony ground with chalk or paint, laid out as a mosaic, cut into a lawn, or planted with flowers. The walker in the labyrinth always has the center in view. As he moves forward, he walks along the complete path of the labyrinth; he is constantly aware that he is approaching the center and moving away from it again. After many detours, and after walking the entire length of the labyrinth, he inevitably reaches the center 13

walking City I warren chalk, frank brian harvey, ron herron, 1964 Walking City imagines a future in which borders and boundaries are abandoned in favour of a nomadic lifestyle among groups of people worldwide. Inspired by NASA's towering, mobile launch pads, hovercraft, and science fiction comics, Archigram envisioned parties of itinerant buildings that travel on land and sea. Like so many of Archigram's projects, Walking City anticipated the fast-paced urban lifestyle of a technologically advanced society in which one need not be tied down to a permanent location. The structures are conceived to plug into utilities and information networks at different locations to support the needs and desires of people who work and play, travel and stay put, simultaneously. By means of this nomadic existence, different cultures and information is shared, creating a global information market that anticipates later Archigram projects, such as Instant City and Ideas Circus.

People always say that there is no so-called 'avenue' in Tokyo in the vein of Paris' Avanue des Champs-Elysees, Barcelona's La Ramblas, or Beijing's Chang An Dajie. When walking on these 'avenues', you are made extremely conscious of your relation to and position within the city, and of the whole urban scale of the metropolis On the contrary, it's difficult to keep one's sense of direction in the small Tokyo alleys. However, bigger surprises await if you take a detour into the smaller roadside alleys, something repeatedly related to me by either friends from outside of Tokyo or friends who travel extensively. In other words, only thus did I learn this to be one of the major characteristics of Tokyo. During the Edo period, there were almost 200 miniatures Fuji Mountains built inside Tokyo. This was attributed to leyasu Dokugawa, who was born in the small Suruga City near Mt. Fuji and who later moved the capital to Tokyo. Considering Mt. Fuji to be a religious icon, Tokyo residents built these 'mini' versions of Mt. Fuji everywhere in the city so that they could have the leisure of appreciating the beauty of Mt. Fuji in their daily lives. Nowadays most of these artificial Mt. Fuji have been demolished, leaving behind numerous 'Fijimi-Chyo', which literally means 'places facing Mt. Fuji.' We might never know the raison d'etre for these paths curving toward the small hills, as old roads and buildings have been buried by skyscrapers and the view of Mt. Fuji has been long blocked. These place names, however, remain as clues to both history and to understanding the intricate layers of Tokyo.

tokyo 2050 fiber city I ohno hidetoshi 19 'Fiber' usually refers to to string thread-like objects, but here, in the context of urban space, we use it to describe structures that extend lengthwise like a line, or to tubular spaces. For example, transportation networks are fibers. Transportation paths run throughout Tokyo, in the air, on the ground, and underground. Moreover, communication networks are also fiber shaped. Above all, the fibers in contemporary cities can be described as spaces of speed and movement. The Fiber City makes suppositions about fluidity and speed. Fibers are also places of interaction and exchange, as represented by commercial spaces. Fashionable streets, and any number of humble shopping streets found round train stations in residential areas, many named hopefully after Ginza, the most famous shopping street in Japan, these are all fibers. The fiber is also a boundary. These include the boundaries of a housing complex, a park, or a university, a cliff, a coast, or a river.
