Hello! Here is the video link of my project/testing phase/interview and staging the action !!!!!!!! !!!! !!!! !!!!!!!!!
The video also outlines the reference to the black&white feeling of life (reality for the victims of abusive relationships) and the “full colors”, I like to call it technicolor virtual world of emotions. Apparently the victims can really have this feelings of seeing the life related to this monotony vs. powerful vivid tension, after/before relation. There is therefore a comic-strip/full colored contrast quality vs. reality images.
Also I say “staging the action” because my action as I discussed about it with Olle last class is a solo action or with one person of confidence, and more likely in the space where the objects are displayed usually, so maybe the “home”. But first, after the interviewed where I choose to NOT film the action of smash by Lina and Savine, to give her full privacy, I though I wanted, to understand my project better and to visuals it, to have a “staging part” where the action is filmed in a decorum, unreal but graphic and pictured.

TESTING PHASE/ INTERVIEWS
TESTING PHASE
ACTION OF SMASHING AN OBJECT
Written BRIEF before experience for participants :
I offer you this object, it made it to be broken if you feel you need to do it or i you want to. You can leave it here, think and focus on you and on some potential issues or pressure in your life at all levels, you can grab the object and smash it to break free from it. You will be alone after reading this, so you have all the time you need and the privacy to explore your inner passions and break free from some anger that you might have inside you. It is a simple action in the end. Try please to be focus, sincere, take your time, close your eyes if needed, be open up. For example you don’t have to break it if you don’t feel you want, I just offer you the possibility to do so. After you think it is over I will ask you some questions in front of a camera.
INTERVIEW after experience :
HI AGAIN :)
1- HOW DO YOU FEEL ?
(if you need help answering this question think to : how do you feel
-in your body?

“- In Greece, breaking plates is to chase the inner evils and anger, it is to let off anger and show that we want to party. By throwing the plate, we say "Opa". And then, we dance!”

Drawing research around ceramic and vases, object to be broken or not by the user. While doing the drawing exercice, I felt that ceramic would be a great medium. I thought first of the ritual like drinking tea in everyday life, then I found ceramic was a very sensible and flexible medium. I felt a connection between it and my topic because of the delicasy and handmade relationship, as well as the possible repetition, but also the visual world around it, the strange softness and the curves, the intimacy it creates. And then I see this picture in my head of somebody breaking a vase. In two movies. And also the feeling I had a few times but I could not feel free to do it, could an object be meant to be broken with energy and anger ? to free the user ? how to create a new relationship with the object, what shape ? after it is broken what happen ? how is it mentioned ? But this idea triggers me, here in drawings several different ideas (text on pictures is both in french and english sorry)

Again Kertesz
This time the body of the woman and his deformation in the parallele reality of the mirror. Also the girl looks laying on the floor, sleepy or dead with this arm going away. And the unique deformation on the top part of the picture, what take the lead, this whithout head shape, two handed on the same arm. It calls for hardtime observation because what we see can be distorted, also how we’re lazy trying to reach it, always half dead / asleep.
Those shapes also inspire me for shaping my ceramics body extension “symbol” to be used.

Kertesz
I have the idea during the sketch session to work with ceramic and I draw vases. It now make me think of this picture by Kertesz. With this tulip, protrated, and not looking to the light anymore. Also there is the blur transition to black in the middle of the composition.

Trailer of a movie to watch to get in 2hours a right glimpse of what MN can cause in/to there victims. For the victimes life become so intense that they totally loose track of their perceptions and their real proportions and they don’t know how to get out. ---> Can also see by the way the movie Get out by Jordan Peele about how to overcome a nightmare that becomes reality. How people and yourself cannot think you’re crazy.

Alternative situation.
How daily connections/company/relationships can alter our perceptions ?
How can people play with perception of others. How to make people aware that perceptions can be a tool for someone else ? How to help people that has been manipulated and that have known a change of there perception, a lost of their personal markers and senses. How to come back to our instinct? And how to trust again something?
“power” also because indeed perceptions define us and help us make choices (power of choice and autonomy).

DAE expectations/first thoughts
What I expect from DAE ?
To give me space to think, practice, hands-on, and reflect, confront my ideas. Also I expect the school to follow me during my first steps and to be up for initatives and impetus that I sometimes want to follow. I want this three next years to discover my way of shaping my ideas and give life to them. To learn how to test, see and feel if it is real. Also to get more and more autonomous.
