Car/tunes’
I have always wanted to reflect this city from an ‘auto-motive’ perspective.
Auto as in the self circulating in the flow of the city.
I recall what John Lennon said of LA:
‘Everything is happening and nothing is going on.’
Movement, energy, mobility of thought is what I’m seeking in these digital drawings. Everything is more or less fleeting you might say.
The flux and flow of existence. The word existence in German is dasein which is similar to the word dancing and very well so since there is a performance element to the work. LA with its long octopustic extensions of freeways and neon signs especially at night give off unprecedented hues of color and energy. Trying to reflect this is what drives these pieces in the end.
All the titles which are in Spanish end with ‘car’. For instance: Atracar, Notificar, Masticar and so on . . .
The ‘tunes’ part is related to words, quotes, observations hovering
over this vehicle which transport one from A to B. I think it’s that space between A and B, the journey you might say which I find interesting and which where I see the logos (words, thoughts) having an impact in the scheme of things. It’s not easy to combine words with form. One tends to supercede the other.
I think Rene Magritte and Ed Ruscha resolved this well in their work.
And now I have attempted to do the same.
