JOURNAUX INTIMES
Installations

The work developed during the final year of studies at the Athens School of Fine Arts and culminated in the presentation of a series of site-specific installation works, all of which were visual interpretations of phrases deriving from the literary work Journaux Intimes by the French poet Charles Baudelaire. From typographic play with the text reminiscent of Visual Poetry, to transformation of word into abstract form, the installations aspire to deliver a reading of Baudelaire’s poetry into space.

NE MEPRISEZ LA SENSIBILITE DE PERSONNE

The text Ne méprisez la sensibilité de personne. La sensibilité de chacun, c'est son génie. is transformed into a building block used to construct a column with a form reminiscent of the structure of DNA. The column can theoretically itself become a building block in a structure, in an endlessly recurring procedure. Below are pictures illustrating the process.

QUE' EST-CE QUE LES PÉRILS DE LA FÔRET ET DE LA PRAIRIE AUPRÈS DES CHOCS ET DES CONFLITS QUOTIDIENS
DE LA CIVILISATION?

Visual interpretation of the text Qu’est-ce que les périls de la forêt et de la prairie auprès des chocs et des conflits quotidiens de la civilisation? from the literary work Journaux  Intimes by the French poet Charles Baudelaire. Words become abstract forms and the rhythm of poetry is interpreted into the visual rhythm of space.

The installation work is part of the project Journaux Intimes
