Joya: arte + ecología / The FAM Collective
NOTES:
‘Every day we have engaged each other in a group discussion about our individual observations and working practices. They have amalgamated and become an unified expression of the experience of both the internal journeys and the exterior landscape.
Tuesday 13th September
- It is a form of engagement
- A competition chopping wood
- Hierarchy
- What I’ll do when I come back
- Stripping things down and getting closer to my practice
- It is because I’ve access to a mountain
- As broad as humankind
- I am not interested in myself
- Quite a premeditated project
- Order and chaos
Wednesday 14th September
- It is a form of archiving
- Presenting it as a new discovery
- I’m scanning everywhere
- Always a process that relies on observation
- It may be the wrong thing to come here and start whole new projects
- You are in it and that is when things turn back in on itself
- I am trying to manifest the invisible
- They are little cathartic gestures
- You are asserting yourself quite aggressively on the viewer
- It is so immediate
- It is a completely different culture of making
Thursday 15th September
- Different modes of capturing
- Archiving in a museum like way
- There may need to be a curatorial construct
- It has been abstracted away from the domestic
- It becomes about the process of research
- Alluding to it without all this aesthetic
- Perceptions of masculinity in cinema
- I think I’ve spoken too much
- I lost control
- I need another outlet
- Filmmaker and mother amalgamated
- From an idea of me and the universal
- There is a balance between technology and the idea
