Joao Vaz
Refleçao Postmoderna
Facultade de Arquitectura de Lisboa, Prof. Luis Romão
Portugal 1998, (4'29'')


(A reflection, some drawings: the sphere reminds Boulet, further above a Renaissance temple...
Returning to the virtually - from the drawing to tridimensional things it was intuition and to observe it properly and then to measure it (which width has that column ... and how does that step feel...?)
From the vectorial reality the matter was the use of a pearly white (with blue reflections) and a transparent blue - here I can be different (virtual!) - a material is brick and stone and plaster, it is the same in a wall, ceiling, column and window lining, the transparency makes vaults and ends in a door, it allows the wall thickness to be seen and to guess the neighbor behind it.
To pack this architecture came the m-ziq (Midwinter Log)
Then it was just dreaming: if this architecture is white and the space they inhabit is land (though mirrored) I feel like seeing other things: how to look at them in the daylight and the intermittent flash of one strobe, to see in them other individual stories (the shepherd, the city man, the traveler, all of them here in a short and simple version)
(now this is just me: car accidents and a city as horizon, a schizophrenic sound-track (virtual?)
in the end it is the waking up and to see where all this came from (it is me telling you to wake up) it is all triangles (or is this a dream) the angels of the drawing (Siza's, indeed) they come back in more pagan versions (although the schizophrenia goes on......!)
