My Critical Perspective
Design should reflect a global culture. A global culture is
something that is done all around the world. Culture is defined as a way of
life therefore a global culture is something that is done worldwide. What I
have taken from a global culture perspective is this idea of 'hidden art'.
Which to me is objects or spaces that get past by every day and get unnoticed
such as alley ways full of art, culture and identity. I want to tell a
narrative throughout my photography of how these spaces get past by daily when
these spaces have a lot of meaning in them and has a cultural reference
engraved within these spaces.
Hikau's
(Chosen one)
Born with a culture,
Striving to make ourselves heard,
We live in shadows.
(Chosen one)
Culture is within us,
We are an exposed culture,
But we are hidden.
The darkness is there,
The beauty is also there,
Just walk on in there.
Using the readings to my advantage was best because it made me understand what i had to do as a flanuer. Walking in the city readings and Urban future manifestos.
"We live in a inverted panopticon where urban dwellers hide behind a veneer of cultivation "civilized" and detached."
"Escaping the imaginary totalizations produced by the eye, the everyday has a certain strangeness that does not surface." - I really like this quote because the strangeness can realate to my "hidden art" theory and how it does not get seen everyday and how its has always been in the shadows.
"The production of its own space, rational organization must thus repress all the physical, mental and political pollutions that would compromise it;"
Hidden art works well,
Because it's in the shadows,
Which is for the best.
