CENOTAPH FOR THE LAST REASON
Schedule:
S7 Episode 1 : on text
BE NOT DISCOURAGED, KEEP ON, THERE ARE DIVINE THINGS WELL ENVELOPED… I FEEL PRETTY, OH SO PRETTY..."
HE IS TELLING ME THESE WORDS AS WE ARE SITTING ON AN ISLAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOSPORUS:
“HERE I WANT TO LIVE AND LOVE, ALONE AND WITH EVERYBODY.
THIS ISLAND IS TO BECOME A HOUSE AND A LIGHTHOUSE, A VILLA AND AN ISLAND, A HOME AND A CENOTAPH.
I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE A CENOTAPH FOR THE LAST REASONABLE THOUGHT.
DON’T ASK ME WHY, TALK WITH ME? LET’S FIGURE IT OUT.”
IT IS DRAMATIC, HE IS NOT SURE WHAT IT MEANS, BUT HE IS SMILING AND DANCING, LIKE A HARLEQUIN IN A THEATER.
I AM STAYING AND GOING ON AN ADVENTURE WITH HIM :)
FIRST ADVENTURE

A BRAND, A FACE, A CENOTAPH THAT TALKS AND SINGS, IN PUBLIC, ABOUT INTIMACY
ABOUT IDENTITY, SECRECY, BRANDING, REASON.
CENOTPAH

ABOUT INFRASTRUCTURE, URBANISM, MIGRATION, POLITICS
PALLAZO

S7 Episode 2 : on images
REASONS(‘) SHOW
BILL DANCES WITH JOY AND GLOOM ON THE BOSPORUS' ISLET. HE WELCOMES HIS GUESTS, "MY THEME TONIGHT IS WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE BELOVED?" EVERYBODY LAUGHS AND A FEW PEOPLE LEAVE. BILL SINGS ABOUT SEX, JEALOUSY, LOVE AND OLD AGE; CRISES, CHAOS, DESTRUCTION AND FEAR. A PARADE OF GLOBAL CHARACTERS AND ACTIONS JOINING THE STAGE: BAIT FOR REASONING.
—TEXTUAL FIGURES MEET IMAGE FIGURES.
I SHOW IMAGES OF THE CENOTAPH IN THE ISLET. IN A CATALOG, I PRESENT EXAMPLES OF WHAT THE PUBLIC FACE OF THE NEW MAIDEN'S TOWER MAY LOOK LIKE, AS WELL AS THE LIGHTS AND SHADOWS OF ITS INTERIOR —ITS WALLS, ROOFS AND OPENINGS; MOODS, TEMPERAMENTS AND HUMOR. THE BODY OF THE CENOTAPH WILL BE ENGENDERED FROM THE CATALOG.
I ALSO SHOW A MOVIE ABOUT THE REASONS THAT MAKE BILL LAUGH AND CRY. I PARADE THE EVENTS THAT AGITATE THE WORLD AND THE JOKES THAT CHALLENGE EXTREME POINTS OF VIEW. I INTRODUCE BILL'S FRIENDS AND FOES, AND THE INTIMATE RITUALS AND CYCLES THAT MAKE HIM A HARLEQUIN AND HOST. I PRESENT WITH EXISTING SCENOGRAPHIES, OBJECTS, SUBJECTS, ACTIONS, DIALOGUES AND SOUNDS, BILL'S WAY OF BRINGING INTO PROPORTION AGITATION AND REASON. IN THE MOVIE, THE ABSENCE OF THE LAST REASON WILL BE DISPLAYED.
WITH THOUSANDS OF MOVIES FROM PARADISO, ITS SEARCH INSTRUMENT PANORAMAS OF CINEMA, AND MOOD BOARDS FROM PANORAMA APP, I QUALIFY THE ARCHITECTURE FOR BILL'S HOME AND STAGE IN THE BOSPORUS.
S7 Episode 3 : ON MODELS
