digital and analog drawings, silkscreen on plaster, Mimaki flatbed prints
Selected scenes of the film Akira (1988) show different perspectives of Akira's landscape. An urban landscape that I have seen and observed for many years, where I lose the sense of space and time, talking about the scale of this world parallel to its height and depth. The drawings all aim to be a continuing part of one drawing. It shows a process drawing growing and expanding over time.
Starting distilling the stills through tracing paper, translating them into other concreter worlds. Playing with different perspectives and vanishing points converting them from analog into digital prints. The distorting of the new landscape changes further and further where the sense of place depiction has passed into a placeless space. This placeless space is the overall feeling while watching it growing up, it shows a landscape that does not start, nor end.
