This section shows the process of the artistic research that I developed during two years within the frame of the Master in Scenography at the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht (HKU). The research was triggered by one main question: how can the conscious and the unconscious minds generate an experiential atmosphere? In the context of this question two main reflections were explored: one referring to the paradoxical way in which an individual experience can become a collective one without losing its personal approach. And second, the multilayered character of space in which physical encounters performative and filmic, and its possible interaction for the generation of atmospheres.

Transforming a Narrative (from a Theater Text) into an Abstract Space

December 15, 2015

Based on the questions of how the introspective world works regarding the external environment of an individual, and how a narrative can be created through the usage of space and objects, the process of exploring this matter took me from diverse environments to a personal image, and from there to some other personal stories, everything coming from reality.

Therefore, I considered that the next step or experiment could work within the frame of fiction. Then, I took four theater plays, with quite different characteristics, and by analyzing them, translate their core reflection into an abstract space represented through an scale model.
