Utilizing the work of TARIK Kiswanson, NEST, as inspiration for this REMAKE project. Forms of AMBIGUITY, different interpretations, and perspectives are made to be PROVOKED to PARALLEL a similar message to Kiswansons'.

“I was perhaps attempting to create a shape that could talk about the universe. A form that speaks of beginnings, about life and death. A shape floating through history, constantly generating new interpretations. I don’t want to say that everybody can connect to the work, but I try to somehow go back to primary but ambiguous forms that can have perceptual and philosophical unfoldings in many minds.” - TARIK KISWANSON

 

“to understand who I was, where I was coming from,” he said. “To understand I don’t really come from anywhere.” - TARIK KISWANSON 

 

​

Kiswansons message focuses on metamorphosis within LANGUAGES, countries, and overall a sense of ROOTLESSNESS as well as a focus on IDENTITY. 

 

an object, that describes MOVEMENT, change, and DISPLACEMENT, is: a pair of shoes. BLANKLY leaving opinions open to the public. 

 

SHOES protect humans from the bare ground, while wearing shoes one’s feet never touch the ground, so in a way our shoes are holding us up - we are FLOATING . The sense of constant movement and DISPLACEMENT arises as shoes portray that one is NEVER staying in a DEFINITE place. 

 

Shoes help humans move to DIFFERENT locations, so for the documentation, many LOCATIONS are essential to speak on how one STAGNANT object can MOVE around so much. The shoes are the connecting factor to the MOVEMENT. They are the STAGNANCY within CHANGE. 

 

BLANK shoes parallels to Kiwanson's TECHNIQUE - creating a BLANK slate allows for others to RELATE and create their own NARRATIVE regarding their individual IDENTITY.
