Architecture
Surrounded by Surroundings.
Walking down an empty corridor… a Long Tunnel.
I feel the need to cartwheel.
Don’t ask me why. But I do.
Within Anne Bogart’s View Points, working with Architecture is to move with the space itself. Allowing the environment or the architecture of the room to become an active participant in the relationship.
This can get overlooked quite easily. I can think of the walls of the room, the objects within it as inanimate, non-movable monoliths that are there to navigate AROUND…. Versus information, reflectors, amplifiers to navigate WITH.
I can get complacent in familiar spaces.
I don’t really have the time or the energy to take in all of my surroundings all of the time.
So with this ViewPoint, the idea is to invite in curiosity with all that is surrounding me… Slow down and Open my eyes to actually take in the architecture.
(My brain jumps to Jack Skellington’s song “Whats This” from The Nightmare Before Christmas.)
How can I see with new eyes so I can make the room come alive. So I can anchor myself in what IS actually present and maybe (just maybe) be affected by my environment as much as the thoughts in my own head.
