 Igor Kochovski The Spin New Zealand 2000, 6'30" This video is intended as a comment on the nature of the processes embodied in the city. It is not meant to be an account of the space in the city as it is commonly represented and thought of, which means that the safe references to the typology of experiential states such as the urban, the public, the metropolitan or the private are being avoided. The main fascination is that of the city as a pure cerebral enterprise, from which it is impossible to escape. Every rational intention results in some irrational effect. The main filmic device in the video is the rotating motion, and that speaks of the nature of movement and time in the city where there is no longer a move from A to B unaccompanied with some shift on the level of experience outside those two points. The rotating motion is that inclusive gesture by which time gathers and arranges the power of the imagination. One continuous movement connects levels and gradients of space through the otherwise closed gaps that thrive within the visible spaces and structures of the city. A highly invisible dimension continues ever more strongly to control our idea of the city and time in relation to the city. Igor Kochovski was born in Ohrid, The Republic of Macedonia in 1976. In 1994 he moved to New Zealand where after five years he obtained his diploma in Architecture from the School of Architecture and Fine Arts, The University of Auckland. He is currently working at the office of Andrews Scott Cotton Architects in Auckland, operating predominantly in an architectural software environment that utilizes programs such as StudioVIZ and AutoCAD. |
