Perception of_ in Detroit
Project by
Raphaël Coutin
Animated by
Corradino Garofalo
Thanks to Telegraphy for the inspiring soundtrack
Perception of _ is looking at architectural
shapes of cities, for instance in Detroit. Captivated by buildings, shadows,
details, or terrain vague, Raphael has wanted to create an archive of shapes,
with a series of prints revealing the architecture of a specific place. Much
like a sample book, preserving essential features of man constructions,
reconfigured into art, and treasured once again according to his perception. In
order to bring the project toward a new step, Raphael is working with
Corradino Garofalo. Together they animate those picture responding to the
sounds of the town. The vision is now taking the emotional rhythm of where it
belongs. By the same token, this artistic endeavor is intended to raise
awareness, part testimony to our amazing ability to adapt, and part tool for
architects to quickly understand the identities of places and to see the
failure or success of design.
