development of ts/project statement
Here is a little text that can starts to explain what I understand as self-portrait and what I understand as self-portrait of the city. The inner mutability of the self-portrait can be the subject that drives the TS, I am still not sure how or what does this mean but can be in relation to the "paper/stone" thing?....
THE INNER MUTABILITY OF THE SELF-PORTRAIT (TS)
The project speculates on the city as a self-portrait of all, in were rather than making an intimate image of an author this time we will question the inner personality of the city through its authors not just as an image but as an habitable space.
We are the inhabitans of our self-portraits and we are the context of this project, our lifes are the motif and the idea of city is the subject that is imagined by us and painted by a collection of authors. The city is our big home and canavas.
The image we see from the distance is transformed as soon as we glance or enter into the self-portrait. When we look at a self-portrait we experience a shock of recognition because we picture ourselves within it.
The technical part of this project studies the inner mutability of the self-portrait as we experience the relationships between spaces, such as the way we consult a mirror to question our image, rearrages our appearance this time the way we enter that image rearrages our initial perception of it through its space. In where the more you go into it, the more you discover yourself within it.
The City as a self-portrait, reveals more than just a physical appearance, it reveals how it hopes to be viewed by the world and how it wishes to see itself.
