Itineraries03 or Itineraries_Bristol is part of the Itineraries series and it aims to create a link between the own body and this new place: the city of Bristol; as a first attempt of approaching this new territory.
The big linen cloth of the Freckles. Skin Maps project, which is a fabric with all the freckles of the own body marked on it, is used here as the starting point for the creation of the itinerary. For the first attempt, a little area of the map was selected: the area of the freckles of the face. And they were placed into a real map of the surroundings of the artist's current house in Bristol. Then, the itinerary marked in the map was walked, filmed and pictures were taken of every spot which corresponded to a freckle, while the time and distance travelled were recorded. Also, objects were picked from these spots. Through the creation of the itinerary and the intervention, the own body was translated into a space language, into a map. The freckles became spots in a map at the same time that the objects became the freckles themselves. time intervening_21min distance traveled_1504m |
