| WALKING |
|
|
My work analyzes communication and its effects on perception. I have explored variants of discourse, documentation, alphabetic systems, signing, mapping, and language in relation to human body.
Since 2006, my work has been dedicated to Walking - analysis of bordering, fragmented, urban spaces of large cities inhabited by diverse communities. Through photographs and drawings, I have explored how walking the city can become a spatial drawing. These works document walk routes and the effects of urban walking on the body.
The photographic series WALKING was shot over a period of time [2006-2007] and are based on visual signs and various degrees of interaction and physical gestures that facilitate or cut off communication. It is pervaded by ubiquitous sense of estrangement resulting from being both present and detached [while walking], and inspired by the urban idiom of cities and neighborhoods, which I have had the chance to walk through in the past few years. WALKING resembles a photo-sequence, examining movement through the use of early chrono - photographic techniques.

The photographic series A to B was shot over a period of time [2006-2007] and is based on visual signs and various degrees of interaction and physical gestures that facilitate or cut off communication. It is pervaded by ubiquitous sense of estrangement resulting from being both present and detached [while walking], and inspired by the urban idiom of cities and neighborhoods, which I have had the chance to walk through in the past few years. A to B is diaristic, documenting the walk route and capturing vacant traces of objects, signifiers, landmarks and anonymous passers-by. Each walk has been measured in steps by the use of a digital pedometer. |

| TRAFFIC |
|
|
The series titled TRAFFIC [Openings] is a group of drawings dealing with Memory, chance and the use of human body to define our location in time and space. Made by taping white vinyl or paper at gallery entrances, entrance halls, or any gallery space with most foot-traffic; these soft surfaces record the flow of people [footprints, dust, mud, carts, strollers heels etc.] during one opening night gathering or for the duration of an exhibition.
Walked on drawings are exhibited as drawings and titled according to the dates/event on which they were made.
