Cosmopolitan Lovescape

I’m researching and experimentalising with how people feel different emotions in travelling places, especially hotels.

When I stay in travelling places I get completely different emotion and feeling with other places. Consolation, sadness, and emptiness…these words are come in to my mind when I stay in the places. Oddly, people are in same space, but they have got absolutely no connectivity. They only want to use the space for their need and leave quickly. 

“When we’re feeling sad and bored at home, one of the better places to head to is the airport. Not in order to fly – there’s no quicker way to hate an airport than to have to use it, but, rather, to admire it.” – Alain de Botton

My work involves video, film, drawing, photography and installation. And my main medium is video.  Nowadays I’ve been looking at John Smith and Chris Marker’s video works.

Baa mob at Vtap

This is not strickly a blog for postings on upcoming exhibitions… but following Jim’s lead I’m leaving here a plug for a show I’m part of, titled Vtape (Hospital Julio de Matos, Lisbon, 15-30 November)

I am showing the videopiece Baamob, and this is where we can draw some connections with our last conversation and relational form, as it developed out of a conversation with the fine art students at Central Saint Martin’s when we had a workshop on conversational art and protest.

To show that we can post videolinks to this blog as well, here’s the link to the Youtube channel on the project. If you want to add youtube clips to your postings here’s how to. The piece works best as a 3 channel-video play, so try and click play in the three videos simultaneously after setting the volume to max.
