The letter e

Amazing work by Amanda Alessandrine. I quote from her website:
"This is an experiment on wearable lettering. It started as a series of three day-glow and black tee-shirts, each with a slightly different pattern that becomes different highly visible letters when seen from a distance, providing that the wearer places his arms and body in a specific way. When wearing these tee shirts, a group of people can form a word, a sentence or a statement. Because a single person can mimic a whole set of letters, the message can change, from one movement to another."

Keywords

Commercial or public display signs, are meant to sign collectively. In Kerameikos and Metaxourgeio area (ΚΜ), new and old signages, functional and derelict, hand crafted or guerrilla like, all blend in various languages.

Neither meaningful nor meaningless, they appear like keywords. Revealing an internal structure, sometimes a rhetoric or a reasoning, they stand out as autonomous clusters of aesthetics, cultures and personal trajectories, signposting a fragile diversity in transit.

The installation by design agency busybuilding presents over 600 different images of signages as found in the KM area during ReMap 2.

KEYWORDS is part of Remap 2, an international art programme parallel to the Athens Biennale.

Entr'ouvert

Entr'ouvert is a photographic project by two young photographers from France, Vivien Ayroles and Stefano Marchionini. "The work presented here originates in our desire to integrate photographic images of different origins into diptychs, whose nature is to shed new light on their constituent parts. The combination of the images chosen here shows the relation between man and the urban or rural landscape, the relation between ‘internal’ (the intimate dimension) and ‘external’ (the social dimension). It is our wish to avoid whatever narrative might originate from the single images used in the diptychs : there is no story, there is no text."
