Spatial representation of emotions by Philippe Halaburda

Why not bring memories and emotions out from the city into art?

The blurry boundary between perception and experience always inspired me: I am interested in the randomness of emotion through art by imaging abstract visuals based on subconscious relations between humankind & urban or natural environments.

Guy Debord wanted to «change the city to change lives». In his «Poetics of Space 1», Gaston Bachelard created a philosophy of at-homeness, rich in emotion and memory. As the urban question is at the heart of my art, I bring a poetic dimension to all these landscapes full of unknown connections and spontaneous interactions.

From direct experiences, my work delves into the complex undercurrents of intimate and collective relationships to examine contradiction, equilibrium, and harmony in human nature. My process engages with our world and calls upon a sense framework as a construct to bring the viewer inside their own subconscious.

What I present in this book is a number of potential spontaneous synergies on different media.

This is a master plan through a series of graphic interactions on emotions and thoughts for creating imaginary mindscapes.
