DIA_studio:Unity _ patterns Hochzeit (me and Alexandra)

Summer Semester 2009 _ My first experience in group work =) it was not easy - but it was cool, me and Alexandra - were like Molotov cocktail - ready to explode, 2 woman in one team -Yes =))) it was all the time personal - the process of creation... but we were too friendly to make WAR! And in the end we found our common solution. We had 2 different ideas, My - connectivity, Alexandra’s - Decomposition. In the result - not sacrificing each other - we just married our Patters, so they lived happily ever after.

DIA_studio:Growing Architecture_



Please, do not hurry!
That is one of my projects made in Dessau DIA, a film for final presentation 2008 summer semester and here it is, but please do not be in a hurry, because it is relatively long – 6 minutes, in our times 6 minutes it is too much, I know. But it was created for me to talk about the pictures U can see there. There is some music instead of my voice, just let your eyes wander around the images. May be you will find smth interesting for you there – I think that the idea is nice after all.
If we extract only headlines – my Project could look like this:

And I have the first story… The initial name is “Benches”
it is very simple – one thought in fact. Well - as I wanted, actually! It is about our Heart and some people, with whom we share our hearts (friends, soul-mates and the other nice or important for us persons). The Idea is like this – our soul I see as an endless field with the high grass (for me-it is wheat), on the shore of the river (it could be an allegory for time).We are sitting on the shore – looking at the river – living our life. But we are not alone – there are so many creatures -watching the river too. For some of them we have special places in our soul-field, only for them… We build a Bench (figuratively) for that person – and from now on that place in our Heart is somehow shared – it is not only “My” but more - it is “His” (Her) as well. When he is near – he sits there on the Bench with us and we face the river flow down, together… When he is not there -we feel empty, sometimes maybe even lonely… But that Benches, that heart sharing, make our soul more deep and beautiful, that places links us to the other souls, because there are benches for us in people’s hearts…
But in the end – there should be no words - only pictures. Words make things heavy – and words lie, I want people understand and feel the idea by themselves, in their own way… I want to make no conclusions …
Character -? - Not sure yet… yes very important to find one – human/animal/something
1) /River line /Field from above /he is running there so small/
2) /he from the back on the river/
3) /his face (kind of inspired)/
4) /(close-up) eyes, smile/
5) /perspective – nice stuff/
6) /lying down the field – enjoying the view/
7) /sky with the bird flying very high, clouds/
8) /started to rain, far view/
9) /surprised face with the drops falling on it/
10) /he is trying to cover with leaves, be safe from the rain/
11) /close up/we see sun in his eyes reflected/
12) /sky, clouds, small rain, SUN/
13) /we see rainbow on the other shore/
14) /he sees it ,view from far/
15) / open-mouthed with astonishment, close up -pointing the rainbow with the finger/
16) / eyes/
17) /look back, searching for someone to show the rainbow /
18) /someone’s ears jut out the grass/
19) /”Hey, U pssst!” –he says/
20) /we see second character-“Me?”/
21) /”Yes, U come here”,-convincing look/
22) /standing together, the first pointing the rainbow/
23) /close-up - 4 eyes amazed/
24) /view from above – 2 talking, playing/
25) /next day//the first building smth with the hammer/
26) /enjoying the view of the new Bench for a friend – satisfied/
27) /close-up, looking for his friend/
28) /ears in the grass/
29) /next week//sitting together on the bench – dangle the legs/
30) /vie from above with the field, bench, 2characters, river/
31) /next month// grass ,ears, waving “chao” hand/
32) /character sitting alone on the bench – sad/
33) /close-up –sad eyes/
34) / empty bench, he is going to the field/
35) /river flowing down/
36) /100 years later//old character sitting on the shore of the river/
37) /close-up wise old face with the shadow of the smile/
38) / he is sitting down the first bench, we see smth vague in the background/
39) /view from above, river, field, many benches (all different),chairs, sofa, cradle, couple of beds…/
40) /zoom out - we see the field and the river and smth small there(his life)/
41) /zoom out –planet/
42) /zoom out – stars/
43) /zoom out – seed/
44) /field/

So many points, o my god))) not so sure about the last 4 points - maybe they are too much, not sure that the character should be alone in the end...I better clean up my scenario - later… it s too long I think! We all know – Less is more!

My search of Harmony...

18.10.2009
I like - Today… Today is a very good day to start things, I really believe in it. Cos what we have is only Today and Now(yesterday and tomorrow – are sweet illusions)… So the other (going parallel with C-project) idea I’d like to work on – is a HARMONY search and translating it! In a broad sense of that word… it is so unclear even in my head – what is harmony? In Music, Poetry, Picture, Architecture, in Life _____ in our Universe ____ some magic law that keep things together (you may call it God, if you like), balancing and changing constantly… We had in Dessau last semester very interesting Workshop with Carlos Campos (the name was” Search of entropy “– as far as I remember) the idea was to translate things into other Languages(but not from English / Spanish/ Chinese) _but the language of Form into the language of Numbers, and then the language of Music into the language of Colours…. And so so so on… Idea is really great. I love it! For me it was an attempt of extracting some sort of formula of Harmony from different things. Very personal and subjective attempt , of course - but nothing is perfect, so why not to try find one by myself. As prof. Haase says :”Subject, Question, Method”… Now I have a subject and a question – the only thing I need so far is a Method. I will pick up my favourite – Experimenting =)… so let’s search now!

"C" Project

18.10.2009
For a Long-long time, I have a desire to make a Comics book (series of Stories in Pictures)… And had no time for it, yes it happens ! I know that the most hard thing is to START, hope with writing this words – I establish the beginning of that project! Ok! Good! Feel better =) now, I need a first story, not so long – but inspiring at the same time – to try myself in smth new, to understand what is to be done. And I want that story to be Philosophical at some point, making people think or stop thinking – or just to see the World from a new point of view , with the new glasses filter (positive, autumn – blues-mood, deep, beautiful… different). May be only one character is enough, one character and the World around. May be it could be just a song, melody, photo, person - as an Inspiration______ don’t know yet. But 4 sure I will be searching for it that days… If You, my dear reader have some Ideas – you are more than welcome to SAY it, please =)
