Project The research of
the traces of symbolization in our quotidian
life, and their relations
Our project is to have a free exchange with the other artists with
different culture, and the people in the region. I always try to
explain my works, my pictures, let them know the extraordinary
lines of development between cave art and calligraphy, and the
life of every day ( attached a picture, presented in UNESCO: the
universal declaration of human rights and cave art) . The feedback
of others, always bring me the light for understanding this
continuity of humans’ lives and cultures. For this trip, with my
wife, we will study the possibility to make eventually a short
documentary film about the interaction about the traces of cave
art in everyday life of some of other artiste. The theoretical
bases of my works are based over the Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan
and Michel Foucault. We will try to organize the small meeting
about the subject and let the conversation goes further. We also
try to organize, the short period exhibition. If the organization
let us, also we may organize the master class for having the
demonstration of calligraphy and the origin of it.
