Project 5

A study reflecting on the difficulties of the first physical encounter with professional life after Architecture and City & Regional Planning education.

The metropolis stands at the center of a complex network of relationships that cannot be separated into home, work, transportation, and leisure. What is the condition of the body within the time–performance interval imposed by working life? Is there still a family home to return to? What can home mean other than a place where the body feels relatively safe for 8–12 hours a day? Which of the nine houses relocated within the borders of the same metropolis felt the most like home? The method of the work involves the use of the representational tools of architecture and urbanism through bodily experiences. It consists of a series produced using different materials and techniques, including digital and analog collage. The series includes the following works: Introduction: Home is a Slip of the Tongue; Fragment I. The Minimal Story of the Modern Home: "This is a Tape Recording"; Fragment II. The Metropolitan Mind from the Rural to the City; Fragment III. Metropolitan Sounds of the Modern; Fragment IV. Inside [Outside] at the Limits of the Digital; Fragment V. The Impressionist Gaze Before Deformation: A Mechanical Eye; and Fragment VI. In the Non-Existent Temporary Exhibition (which lasted approximately 18 hours due to weather conditions).
