Thesis
An exploration of how physical interaction with books can shape perception and meaning. Combining analog printing with conceptual inquiry, the project investigates the body-object relationship through 16.5 meters of continuous dot matrix print. Awarded with distinction.
Thesis project at ECAL, which received a distinction. Can we manipulate perception into a temporary reality? I'm fascinated by the manipulation of books as objects. The adventure of the body manipulating the object, which in turn depicts the body, creates a sensual artistic intersection I explore in my thesis. Charlie Chaplin once said in his final speech in The Great Dictator: "We think too much and feel too little." This is my starting point for examining the dynamic relationship between material and meaning.
