Mood to Matter: A Spatial Materialization of the City
Before heading to Prague, Ghaith&Jad will be roaming the streets of Beirut, taking pictures of spatial moments that convey a feeling that is representative of their experience. They will then associate to every picture with an architecture material that captures the quality of the moment with regard to materiality, scale, context, sound, climate, light, political representation, etc.
Once in Prague, the Studio will give a talk on their city tour approach and showcase the assemblage of material fragments representing a singular spatial moment in Lebanon. This composition becomes a reference for participants, who then embark on a city tour of Prague in search of similar moments, photograph them and associate them with materials. Pictures of streets, angles, buildings, sculptures, feelings from Beirut, as well as multimedia material (sound recordings, audio guidelines, music, songs) will guide the city tour participants in their search, which will be about simulating the senses and discovering hidden gems in the city.
The tour is an interactive experience, a sort of workshop/performance with the participant as key element, forging a bond of spatial experiences in both countries.
