Drawings of the Site



 



Looking at the site through the lens of a dream, I see shapes, shadows, transparencies and shifting forms. If during a dream, the site changes, what are these changes? The main structure is the same and remains a constant, but the details are lost and the only thing you remember is the overall sense of a colour scheme, a significant colour that either dominates the composition or stands out more-here it is the vermilion red that pours out from the center. During the dream, the site shifts, the pouring of the sand takes its final form and becomes this red stream that cuts the composition in the middle. Often, when dreaming, the sequence is lost or forgotten, but one part of the dream remains engrained in the mind, here it is the way the site looks at the end, a general feel of the colours, forms and textures and a significant change in its main structure: the dominant red pile.

My dream of the site is that it melts away, it becomes distorted in the process of the dream state, it gradually changes. These changes are constant, but never return to its original state. The more I dream, the more the site changes, melting away gradually, changing colour, changing mood, forms shifting and moving slightly and finally dissolving into its more basic elements: colour hues and keeping only one part intact: the faraway windows on the building that can be viewed in the back.
