COURSE SUBJECT

The repetitive journeys of everyday life within the city

ΑΙΜ

The conscious course during our daily journeys and the shift of our gaze from the ordinarily interesting to the interest of the ordinary.

COURSE CONTENT

Experimentations with free choice of media (video, audio, actions, installations, processed plans, collages, photos, etc.) will reconstruct a daily route inside the city as a visual exercise. You can include images, maps, thoughts, narratives, facts and what you consider to be worth observing in the dull, daily repetition.

COURSE PROJECT

A piece that will present your route to or from a destination that you repeat daily.

You will create a “map” (in any form) of your thoughts and personal narrative, with a free choice of media (photos, videos, pics, paintings, sound, etc), notes, charts, etc. You should include information about the space, as part of your narrative. You can also note an intervention in the space.

Beyond the “map”, you will also present a document which includes the following:

• The course of your route noted on an ordinary map.

• Notes of your comments, i.e., the sounds or the smells of the environment, incidents from the past, and anything else that comes to your mind about the space you are in (or not).

• 250 words describing your objective, why you chose to approach your subject in this way and with what practice you communicate it.

• 2-3 pages with research on similar topics, practices, etc. & bibliography

• 4-5 pages with the steps you followed (photos, notes, etc.)

In the exam you will give a presentation of your final project and deliver all the material.

Thank you.
