In the style of Pippilotti Rist

/In the beginning of the semester we were assigned each a photographer to analyse and reproduce in their style a self-portrait.

I learn about Pippilotti Rist and her colorful and imaginative world and chose to represent myself in the style of one of her most famous pieces “Selbstlos Im Lavabad”.

“You interacting with something”

/This image shows me interacting with a platform in a small open space of the E building of Unibz.

I chose “play” as maintheme for this exercise because it’s the right contrast to the building itself. Which mainly hosts university lessons or meetings and conferences.

The interaction happens through a simple movement of the body.

/This image shows me interacting with a friend in front of the aula magna in the C building. As for the first photo the theme of play was maintained introducing the medium, the object, in this case a jump rope. The interaction happens when we both need to coordinate with one another in order to complete the action of jumping rope.

/As for the previous image the theme and the location is almost unaltered. In this case the interaction happens to the surrounding space, the walls, the floor, the volume of the room itself. In order to do this I decided to use some paper tape and stick it on the floor following the tile patterns in order to create a game called “hopscotch”.
