Room Project - Julieta Morano

I am inside this room, I am outside this room but inside the building, outside the building but inside this block,

Where can I situate the limit between two spaces? It seems to me that we automatically relate going through doors with the concept of changing spaces, going in and going out.

My exploration for this project arises from this idea and develops in the research about this "space in between" or non-space. As a starting point I felt the need of contextualizing this ideas. I found philosophical, cinematographic and literature references in order to be conscious of what has already been explored.

I decided to work with the doors in the studio because they are the only elements that give us or any human being the "possibility" of physically transporting ourselves from one space to another. From a material point of view, I can relate the "place" between spaces to door frames and the 12 cm. of thickness they generally occupy,
I have been observing and documenting different types of doors and doorways, and the way they work and are used in the daily activities.
From a conceptual point of view I can relate this whole idea to moments of traveling from A to B, as well as spaces and situations which are ment to be temporal, not to be paid attention to.

I will start the making process with some models not only of the site but also of the feeling the idea generates. From our human viewpoint, different kind of materials make us feel different kind of possible actions, and I am interested in exploring the possibilities a door signifies.
I am not sure how this investigation will develop, and with complete consciousness I am choosing to work hard and give this project the freedom to evolve and change and fail while happening, I feel this the only way of keeping it alive.

See you tomorrow!

Julieta.
