Chapter C: Art

NOTES In time of perception of space Inhabitation vs. Installation “recently i realized some new-old(nevermind) cinematic CROSSPOINTS between A ARCHITECTURE AND VISUAL ARTS in Modern and post Modern era and i try to find new gateways for new architectural language”

A: Each individual use the body in a different way of moving, thought senses, but everyone uses a mechanical translation to re-present the space and the use.

Therefore the situation is happened pure and the individual cannot understand a differentiation in time in terms of living. Including architecture as a major method of materializing the world i try to compare my body with the buildings. How do we Inhabit a familiar (or not) space? This new activity can be described as a coupling of architecture and art. I’m always interested in deserted or isolated places, where the concept of boundary, as i perceive it, is redefined. From this point of view, I detect elements that these places have in common, which are inscribed in my memory as patterns of impressions with sensorial and aesthetic qualities.

B: One of my ways of understanding a “technology” becoming with the interrelation of art and architecture, the way it unfolds between bodies and objects.

C: Having “embodied” in a way, these particular patterns, I am trying to transcribe them in a new code, the one of the sewing machine, which serves as a metaphor of technology in progress, reshaping traditions. I choose my sewing machine to be portable, so as to combine it with my own body, which is moving and travelling around. With its continuous and rapid rhythm, the sewing machine contrasts locations and people but also “stitches” them together, creatively re-negotiating existing demarcations and highlighting common cultural elements of different populations.

D: Travel, particularly in the Balkans, is essential for my work as a visual artist and architect. While travelling, I put myself, mentally and physically, into a kind of trial. Passing from places with different memories, connecting with people from divers cultural backgrounds, collecting objects and images, I acquire an intimate, embodied experience of the unknown and yet familiar surroundings. A series of tools permit me to work with this» raw material” and put together, in diver’s manners, fragments of my journeys. At past i have used a portable sewing machine, accompanied by a video projection, during which I» sewed” together maps, images and memories of my travels in mount Athos, the Pomac villages, Istanbul and other regions.
