Floating images: Germinated Landscapes/Lansdcaped Germinations
Images flottantes: paysages germés/germinations paysagères
Abstract
As I did in last year’s proposal, I would like to offer to the people attending circle 7 to go shoot with a digital camera natural or urban landscapes. Anyone from the symposium who would wish to participate would be more than welcome to. The idea is for each person to choose one of their pictures, and to make it germinate and grow. Those budding images will give us the opportunity to communicate on some of the ideas developed in my previous lecture of 2013 as well as on the NSU as a place for transformative societal strategies, for which this step of “germinated landscapes” can be seen as a kind of allegory. And most of all, the budding images could speak by themselves of slowness, hazard, and not-controlled processes in artistic research.
Then these germinated images, destroyed and regenerated by an organic process, will be part of a participative exhibition, which form could be based on hanging mobiles, if the layout of the building and its surroundings allow it.
