The Passage of time on a given surface

The air we breathe changes textures, colors and structures in inanimate surfaces thus giving life to the inorganic.

Came across this #beautiful #architecturaldetail today - an entrance from another time - a portal to a whirlwind of thoughts. Photo by #alexiamedici #artistresidencyinmotherhood #architecture #barcelona Did you know Davinciite, a recently discovered very rare mineral? Nothing to do with me, I'm just reading, writing notes and waiting.. and came across this photo of #handwritten #text in #ink by Leonardo Da Vinci from over 500 years ago. I had taken this photo last year, and am using it here as in incorporates the elements of #time #history #science and #colour - and the #ephemeral even though through science it's ephemerality has been reduced.. Photo by #alexiamedici #artistresidencyinmotherhood #spaceandtime in a discourse between #florence #barcelona and #malta with #leonardodavinci When the #wind and surroundings collaborate to make #beautiful still life #scenes that are #ephemeral and #sitespecific - #detailoftheday found at the park before I had started working on my Discourse project. Funny how many elements turned up being relevant - with #beautiful natural #unsaturated hues and #textures from fallen #eucalyptus #yellowleaves and #redleaves and a #ring (!!) - A series of #art #photography by #alexiamedici #artistresidencyinmotherhood - Also on #urbanwindflowersanddust #artofinstagram #detailshot #detailphotography Whilst waiting for the golden ballroom I suggest we just look at #timepassing by in #yellow 😂 by #alexiamedici #thepassageoftimeproject #parcdelamaternitat Very sneak preview... Next week it will be a discourse with this #beautiful #maltese #Palazzo, built in the 18th century by the Portuguese #grandmaster Manoel de Vilhena... excited just thinking about it ✨#gold #goldgilded #ballroom #opulence #malta #history #spaceandtime - photo is not my own. Taken from TripAdvisor Dancing trees, long shadows and happy times by the sea. Photography by #alexiamedici #artistresidencyinmotherhood #love the #mediterreanlife the #light #shadows and #naturescenes #torredembarra #crooked #windblown #pine #trees #longshadows #photooftheday ...and it's a wrap! Thank you to this #beautiful #park which now has filled me up with more happy memories and dreams. Love the #parklife and the way the #unfiltered #light fills up the #trees with their different #hues. Photography by #alexiamedici during my #artistresidencyinmotherhood - Also on #artofinstagram #artisttakeoverexpo The idea is to start a #journey with this #sitespecific #installation and create new discourses in new #locations in other geographical regions, always pointing North. Photography by #alexiamedici during her #artistresidencyinmotherhood - Also on #artofinstagram #sitespecificinstallation #installationshot #artisttakeoverexpo ...The ring has been cut and assembled onsite to create the shape. The cuts are made to represent longitude and latitude lines. Photography by #alexiamedici during her #artistresidencyinmotherhood - Also on #artofinstagram #artisttakeoverexpo #parcdeespanyaindustrial #treestagram #parklife The numbers in the artwork's title Discourse 41.3777, 2.1416 refer to the project’s exact #longitude and #latitude in the #park and the ring includes a marker that marks North. Photography by #alexiamedici during her #artistresidencyinmotherhood - Also on #artofinstagram #artisttakeoverexpo #parcdeespanyaindustrial #treestagram #parklife #willowtree #parkbench The mirrors reflect the #light, #trees, people & bring what is “up there” to the ground - to the soil, grass and fallen leaves. Depending on the sun’s position, the mirrors either contrast with the earth by reflecting the illuminated sky and sun, or they blend in and become practically invisible, camouflaged in the dark. Photography by #alexiamedici during her #artistresidencyinmotherhood - Also on #artofinstagram #sitespecificinstallation #installationshot #artisttakeoverexpo #sitespecific #installationart #ring #mirrors. This #sitespecificart #installation follows the #circular design and dimensions of the unused fountains found on site. The structure was then covered with #mirror thus allowing the #ring to “discourse” with its surroundings. The shape of the ring itself is symbolic and refers to many themes are interest me, including the #womb, #cycles, #infinity, and #wholeness amongst others.
