Every word has something to say, it doesn’t capture a so called objective truth in its meaning.
It is a place where I like to be.
A word has a general subjective meaning, it has secondary subjective meanings, it has personal and camouflaged meaning but subjective it always is .
Words are, in fact- the most abstract immaterial paintings and drawings of a pallet that’s called the mind
I is the most subjective word there is i refers to moving and thinking sculptures expressing that we know what it means by understanding it on a meta language.
The architect and I, the title of my short moving drawing refers to several meanings of the word I creating a new meaning and/or several meanings I refers to me but I places the watcher in I, his I .
Meaning changes continuously within the observer, within its creator being me, time is the only thing that has a never loosening grip on everything, which makes time maybe a god or an architect.
An architect creates buildings and follies by drawing them, like my father did. Architect refers to cinema, to compositions, to words, to immaterial abstraction, something which is not there and is there at the same moment, like film which needs technique as a time capsule, another eye to see,. When you see film and life as layers, it creates another possibility of time and meaning, of telling stories or sculpturing them based on coincidence that exists within the boundaries of the symbols and the word itself.
Architect refers to my father, who was one. The architect of buildings for people to live in, the architect of my life in presence but more in absence
Ir refers to the architect in myself as a choice making artist using his personal strategies on the battlefield of art and image
I do not believe in the image of an artist creating images in periods of his life and showing them in a gallery, hoping to sell them… which forms the returning hoping rhythm of the artists life.
The essence is creating the process, not the product, which reflect just the absolutism and triviality of a moment.
The immense opportunity of transforming images thereby creating parallel images parallel words, anti-dating time and meaning constantly, because images and thoughts provide us with that richness
Like a Fenix the artist has the power and obligation to destruct his work as well as to construct and reconstruct a thought an image a sound a smell a movement…… destruction is a build in tool in constructing.
Life is a path you chose, as far as possible, which brings me at a crossing in my life at this moment. During the past 30 years as an artist working togethers with young people as a teacher of film, theater, art , I have made and collected, together and/or alone a sketchbook of images. For me the moment has arrived to create , like a painter or drawer, images with this sketchbook, like an architect of my mind, creating new abstract meaning, creating maybe one big never ending- until I die- movie in episodes, grim, frail, moody, changeable always, with the only purpose to connect to construct, to build digital follies. Constantly searching for changing meanings.
As a matter of fact, my path is one on which I decide to be clear or vague using sounds, songs words in prose or poetry, art, internet, film, photography etc. showing an audience that immense personal road to dare them not to understand to, maybe, better understand the connection between these two. In that playground you can try to understand me, the attempt is worthwhile more then an apparent success
