With the collaborative work between the Paris College of Art and the University of
Applied Sciences, BTK ‘Wanderlust’ is born. Within the two cities the act of ‘flaneur’
was carried out; an experience of strolling with all its accompanying associations.
Memories are created from distinct moments that eventually merge to create a
mental road-map an individual may have of a specific area or landscape.
The project highlights similarities of city living and urban dwellings within two major
cities, Berlin and Paris. Combining photographs of both cities, specifically the
facades of buildings and bridges, creates an extraordinary cityscape.
‘PAR/LIN’ is created through combining various fragmented sectionals of photos.
The layout of the vertical sectionals are meant to reflect the fragments of our own
reality and how we as humans perceive memory.
The presentation of the work varies between the Berlin and Paris exhibitions as it is
not meant to reflect a singular structured moment. The cities that make up the piece
are different and unique; the presentation within each city will reflect that. The two
individual displays will highlight various aspects of new media within its
presentation. In Berlin the image will be exhibited via projection mapping whilst in
Paris the same image will be displayed on a digital screen.
The relevance of the project is to highlight the irregular way in which memory is
shaped, and how even the smallest splice of visual information can alter perception
and lead to the creation of entirely new reflections of our environment.
This imaginary third city encapsulates the moments that are woven together within
one's memory, creating a mental map of one’s surroundings while also allowing the
viewer to force their own narrative within the space. It is intended for the viewer to
encounter difficulty while seeking to differentiate one city from the other as to
establish the third city; allowing the viewer to have their own flaneur experience.
