Assignemnt 3 Morena

Thinking about REFLECTING LOCATIONS I ask myself about the meaning of PRESENTATION, REPRESENTATION, REINTERPRETATION. How do I „create“, explore, feel the sense of place. What it means to build an Archive of typicalness. That very fast come in my mind and ARCHIVE OF ABSURDITY. Am I a colonization traveler? Am I an explorer in my own city? Am I part of the sistem? Is all connect? Or am I a stranger?

I ask myself where is the connecting spaces? If not in plural, but the connecting spaces is a space. INTERNET. A place that connect the both cities but has no borders.

Maybe the City is a viewer, an imput, the internet the place, the other City the output..

Furthermore, I am thinking on souvenir. On Archival. How do you archive a city?

What are the tipical, what are the stories to tell.

I could imagine to develope City sculptures. Like artefacts. Like souvenirs, like storyteller.

 

Interaction. I am open. To create something new? Is about any location? Or is about Zh and HK?

I am fascinated by the 3d Programs in internet like 123D Catch. Create objects, a 3D object, that exist on internet, and everyone can print all over the world.

 

Those “sculptures” don’t really need to be only physical.. it could be sound, smells, lights…

GRAY

 

While working in the color darkroom, I started to think about Zurich, my relationship with this city and what could I present to you.

 

There, the assignment was how to do from a color negative a black and white print.

Well, to the ones who don’t know, a color enlarger has 3 filters: Cyan, Magenta and Yellow. Each filter goes from 0 until 199.

If you turn all the filters off your print will be black. It means that you will have no color. If you turn all the filters on in the maximum, the print will be white. The colors are so dense, that it doesn’t let light goes though the filters.

 

So, for a GRAY, you will have to find the balance with all those three filters.

 

And here started my fascination about the Gray.

 

To find a balance.

 

I started to do a little research about Gray. And what I found is very similar my          feelings about Zurich.

Gray is darker than white

Gray is lighter than black

Neutral, Pure

Shy and boring

Unflashy, indifference and modesty

Gray is the color of conformity.

Not having any personality of its own, it adapts to any other color. It will look either dark or light, depending upon the color next to it.

 

Gray is a color without a color.

 

Stability

 

Zurich is my gray. My gray zone.
