propositions for the landscape
2010Different people, living in the region have been asked to use those structures in a personally selected landscape location, giving specific meaning to the knitted devices in relation to the chosen environment. While enfolding the structures the positions of body / bodies were marked in space, were placed in relation with their surrounding. Due to their soft materiality and their geometrical characteristics the knitted instruments will be able to support multiple relations, creating relational situations in space and time. Where those situations will be centered on the object, the subject and their context - they will loose their consistency, resulting in a situation where only the relations they continuously enact, exist. This concept of performativity is based on a public "construction" of the work and will result in moments of communication, opening an entrance to a structure that is activated. The change of a status of form to a spatial process will be talking place and the transformation of this open system can be seen as crucial moment to realize how moments of transformation can be organized. By "breathing life" into those knitted structures, they will express different "functions" and meanings, providing individual perceptive experiences. It is up to the viewer to activate some of these meanings from an individual perception, dismantling the boundaries between the singular creative gesture and the construction of meaning.
