How are we supposed to travel nowadays? After being locked inside for what feels forever, our fleeting mind can’t handle another instant of the redundant daily life.
It’s a constant battle between the underlying feeling of wanting to escape from boredom with a new exciting adventure, contradicted by the scary and unsafe feeling of having to put yourself in an unknown environment. The best way I could find to reconcile those feelings was with a modern day exploration through Google Maps. Its window opens a new way of discovering mother Earth. As I glanced into the pallid light of the screen, I mimic in spite of me Hopper’s realistic portraying of isolation in Morning Sun.
I take screenshots as memories of this exploration: satellite images of the most beautiful beaches of the world, enchanting landscapes of mountains in Iraq and from the Andes that I dream of one day climbing... All those pictures become prints on a wardrobe mixing
exploratorer’s outfits and comfortable loungewear. It’s also mixed with household items, creating an equipment of the domestic explorer. Bodies are caught in a very unpractical attire. The wardrobe is stripped of its original purpose, suggesting it’s just an artifact of
daydreaming.
