Genre: series of handmade drawings
Materials: pencil on paper
Dimensions: 31 x 22cm
Production: 2016-2017
Hacking truth: the neoclassical scapes is a series of experimental drawings I started in 2016. On the one hand, through these drawings I explore the relationship between conceptual constructions of truth and various imaginative interpretations as an escape from them. On the other hand, the possibility for neo-narratives through historical data is created.
Neoclassical engravings of European travelers recording the ancient ruins of Greece and Rome are used as virtual starting points in this project.
The style of the drawings is based on historical models: copied with precision and aesthetic adaptation, they are -now- embedded fragments in enlarged drawings. Thus, they offer interpretive diversions to the original purposes of the engravings, which is the faithful reproduction of reality.
