Glocal History - Concept

HISTORY : 1 . the developmental process of society's phenomenon;
2 . a science that studies (investigates) the complex development of society , a nation and so on .

The History requires : facts , attitudes , evolution , transformations(changes) , essences(substances) , effects (consequences) , attributes , transitions , (equi)valences and so on.
Scraping the History and tacking pictures of each other through the History , the 2 characters having distinct valences - one GREY and the other one MULTI COLOURED- are not only approaching the identity destruction but also of identity maintenance and the consequences borne by the LOCAL History as the result of GLOBAL expansion and of turning into GLOCAL History.
At the same time , by taking photos , the 2 characters are seeking their ( new) identity , they are comparing themselves with each other , they are (self) investigating each other , and they are looking at each other through the mirror , seeking their ( equi)valences.

The HISTORY is ( re) created / WE are ( self) included .

ZONE / concept

"Portion from an area, from an ensemble, from an whole, (de)limited on the base of some distinctive characteristics,of some special circumstances, of a determined destination, e.t.c.."
"Band of frequency in which the oscillations have some common characters."

ZONE 1: NATURAL-HUMAN-MYSTERY

ZONE 2: GOOD TASTE-TASTE GOOD-KITSCH

ZONE 3: PUBLICITY-COLD-DRY

ZONE 4: TO CROWD-TO DEGRADE-TO DISINTEGRATE

This project present a synthesis of the individual and group concerning.
The action involves snapshots/projections of slides and a movie projection in the same time on the same wall. It's almost like a competition between us and our zones.
Creating relations between static(images) and "permanently running" images, the projection has a direct perception. "Side by side" and slide by slide this images make sense, creates a link.
The painting-object's static presence, which cannot be moved from its determined place in the exhibition room,it's going to be transformed by the succession of the slides into a movie, into an action !
The intention begins to be clear with the images brought from outside world( street, nature, media) to support the painting -objects. Those outside images developed the process of making the final object.

foot note :
* relation between:-slides projections;
-movie & slides.
* "game" between individual personality; trying to surprise each other in the time of the action,just by "seeking for" images on slides;
*movie-flashes of moving images;
The movie is going to look like something "anonymous" (unsigned),the intention being to create a link between different zones.
*slides-static images "rolling over" ;
The slides includes images of individual works in relation with images of the social area/zone.
