Catapult the Roof into the Sky

The Mapping Out of Human Thought – A Literal Take

 

Street inscription affiliated with – or pursuing in the legacy of – the Situationist movement of the 1960s.

Relentless denaturalization of public space.

Interdependence

The canvas is of little interest without paint,

just as paint is only suffocated pigment without a canvas to set it free.

The city needs the flux of human movement for itself, selfishly, but the human too needs a structured surface as pillar and backdrop for the exertion of beauty.

But what if we were to let go of the cubicle,

to step outside the canvas frame,

and dance in free space, en plein air, infinitely?

When human portraits start to morph into geometric machinal forms – it is safe to say that human communication has entered a fully new mode. The mode of the curlicue has been supplanted by that of the angle – of cold, hard, emaciated practicality.
