Itinerary and analog / film photography diary
In summer 2016 I spend almost three months sailing around the aegean sea and the cyclades. Some of the destinations I visited includes:
Athens ( Akropolis, Plaka ), Delos, Mykonos, Serifos, Sifnos, Folegandros, Antiparos, Paros, Naxos, Koufonisi, Amorgos, Syros ...
The purpose of the journey was a kind of mind reset, creative insight or time away and active pause from the city life. Sometimes our mind is blocked, it frames our whole perception in a fixed domain ... you have the feeling that your are trapped, you can not go on, you can not evolve ... you are stuck. At this point you need a reset ... a journey was my response ...
My thoughts are still undeveloped but the guide concepts during the journey were:
space, vision, sightline, songline, knowledge, identity, history, nostos.
Songline* - Within the
animist belief system of
Indigenous Australians, a
songline, also called
dreaming track, is one of the paths across the land (or sometimes the sky)
[1] which mark the route followed by localised 'creator-beings' during the
Dreaming. The paths of the songlines are recorded in traditional songs, stories, dance, and painting.
A knowledgeable person is able to navigate across the land by
repeating the words of the song, which describe the location of
landmarks, waterholes, and other natural phenomena. In some cases, the
paths of the creator-beings are said to be evident from their marks, or
petrosomatoglyphs, on the land, such as large depressions in the land which are said to be their footprints. [ wiki ]
Sightline* - A
sightline,
sight line or
visual axis, is a normally unobstructed
line-of-sight between an intended observer (or spectator) and a
stage,
arena, or
monument, for example. Sightlines are a particularly important consideration in
theatre and
stadium design,
road junction layout and
urban planning. In cities such as
London,
construction within sightlines is restricted to protect the key views of famous
landmarks.
Objects that have a direct line of sight with one another are said to be
intervisible. [ wiki ]
