The course examines public space through contemporary artistic practices based on fieldwork, alongside references to visual artworks with an archival logic.
Students will study a given public space with a free research approach (photographs, diary entries, sketches, notes, collections of objects, videos, recordings, etc.) in order to collect the evidence and data of their research in an archive.
The course examines public space through contemporary artistic practices based on fieldwork, alongside references to visual artworks with an archival logic.
Students will study a given public space with a free research approach (photographs, diary entries, sketches, notes, collections of objects, videos, recordings, etc.) in order to collect the evidence and data of their research in an archive.
The only necessary procedure of the research is interviews. Through the presence, voice and testimony of different faces, we attempt an alternative understanding and reconstruction of the given space, not only through the physical evidence, but also through the gaze and voice of others. The final stage of the course is the drafting of a proposal for the presentation of each personal archive within the very space that is the subject of their research. The choice of presentation context will be free and students will choose between exhibitions, installations, activities, interactive walks and others.
