Dialogues

In Dialogues, I attempt at weaving dialogues with spaces, buildings, objects, canonic spots on the map, all that bear forgotten or displaced meanings. A dialogue becomes an instrument to open up the (hi)stories of places and to re-accentuate them in a new context, in a new time. In the dialogues that I am trying to pursue there are no opposing stances. These dialogical situations emerge from the complexity of the situation of meeting of multiple presents, numerous pasts and numberless futures.
