Some notes and ideas about the exhibition  

  Scene:

 In the centre of the wall of the main gallery is a screening of the video work The Childhood Box: a walk through a blurred vision of the same city after more than ten years in a digital simulation streetview, searching the objectif , with a reading in the background of a diary entry from more than ten years ago.

 

In the centre of the main gallery hall, 9 or 10 islands made of glass are suspended, representing visions of the cities, each of which emerges as layers of images (stipple/relief), including: self-portraits, city traffic and ground markings, snippets of diary entries in the local language, fragments of the body (from the work：ever), mementos, one sentence of information/points of coordinates (artwork: Crowd °), the square man figure
