Wrap/ border- frontier
Time: 45min to do something
I had the alarm set up to know when to stop.
I went out of my dorm and started walking
and running.
A word that continuously appeared was
"Caution" so I started taking photos
of the word, the context and surroundings
of it.
A few words came to my mind like:
border - frontiers - territory...
My reaction to this was to find yellow
strips and a place where people run - walk.
I started to to mark / block the path
Then I made a web - (NO photos)
The person who was taking the photos
needed to leave.
Two persons didn't walk in to the web.
After the web I needed (in my thoughts)
to tie up my self with the environment
and then wrap my body.
in both the kite experiment and the yellow tape experiment i notice that your body is becoming part of the system. i'm curious about the thoughts behind this, as it was not part of the experience in detroit. was it something that has come into the process since then? or has using your body been a part of your practice before? so, once again you are setting up a barrier in a public space. I feel like you must be exploring something about this. are you able to articulate what you are trying to discover through this blockage? what is it about the system that is being revealed through these experiments?
ReplyDeleteMy body was always part of my practice but it was hidden in the process. Know I want to make it visible and incorporate it in the process. After Detroit's experience this has been one of my questions where, how and when my body gets involve in a system.
ReplyDeleteTime has been incorporate in all my a priori processes and know is reflecting- revealing in another way.
Just in the yellow strip I was trying to delimit territory and also setting a different pattern of barrier but joining my body with it. But with a diverse system compering it with Detroit's experience. I stayed 15min tied- wrapped in the three with the yellow strip and it was because the watch alarm rang.
Yes, I'm re-analyzing, re-assambling and re-looking diverse things in these two experiments.
Body
Time
Process
Territory / Space -Place/ Community
Use / play / Found objects
My and the space systems
Openness
Found process documentation (in these cases photographer)
and I think I have more going on..
I think the visibility of your body as a new aspect of the system is interesting also the structured time but I'm wondering about the openness and how that could be pushed even further.
ReplyDeleteI would suggest the question:
ReplyDeletehow is your body (its possibilities, agency and subjectivity) an outcome of the system? and how does this lead to a space of action within the system.
also how does the blockage become more sophisticated? walls are agents of making. what is made / emerges by this walling?
nice to see
