Event description
The aim of the Increased observation is to get to know supposedly well known objects/situations all over again. Breaking away from usual patterns and cultural norms. Redefining through attention, noticing, duration. It’s all about releasing people from routine and showing them a new take on everyday life. I save my observations as drawings and graphics. They are an attempt to organize a world that is surrounding me. I use an economical formal language: black ink and white paper. I reflect the pursuit of simplicity and minimalism in common excess.
