STRIPES
FARM XL Walls (120sqm extension)
The exploration begins with an interest in space.
Geometries, space, dynamism, optical illusion, alteration of visual perceptions – all these elements are present within the installation.
Through the use of the painterly tool, I aim to preserve the space's characteristics while outlining its potential. The six walls, positioned on six different levels in three-dimensional space, are "flattened" to a single two-dimensional level and then reimagined with three-dimensionality through the pattern used. This pattern strongly references the one used for Dazzle camouflage by Wilkinson to cover British warships during World War I, a technique employed to confuse enemy submarines – a form of camouflage. In the case of FARM XL, this element serves the opposite purpose.
Furthermore, depending on the viewing angle of the artwork, the letters M, A, K, and E can be composed. This is an evolution of lettering associated with hip-hop writing.
