The reinterpretation of space

Perhaps you recognize this situation: having the same daily routine of activities; experiencing the same daily rhythms of sensation, day after day. You get up, get dressed, have breakfast, go to work or school, come home, eat and go to bed. The next day, the same scenario repeats itself. After a while, this routine can get boring. Take for example the route to your home, this route has become increasingly ingrained in your regular routine, automatically taking you to your destination. And that is strange, we humans, on the contrary, have a great desire for seeking excitement and having new experiences.

How can we make sure that we fully experience our daily surroundings? Is there perhaps a solution in our visual perception? In this research I try to find a way to ‘see’ the space again, by using different aspects of the sense of sight such as, light, depth, color, framing and illusion. Can I cause people to let go of their own expectations of space and take a whole new interpretation?

I’m inspired by the words of architect Eduardo Souto de Moura; “It is one thing to see with the eyes, another to see with the head”.

Look further than you see at first.
