In all Europe, the new generations are facing an housing crisis. With the prices raising, the precarious working conditions and the wages remain unchanged; the new generations are now uncertain they will ever be able to possess their own house. Been accused to just being lazy and spoiled, young people are now forced to deal with unstable working place which are not meeting the most basic needs.
We are all Under the Same Roof consists in a series of photographs portraying all the ceilings that have covered my head over the last month as an act of appropriation.
A project made in the course
ORIGINAL COPY
ORIGINAL COPY is devised as a space where participants question the meaning of an ‘original’ and its ‘copy’ in contemporary art by exploring various practices of reproduction, copying, and remaking, as well as examining their power as active gestures and critical interpretations to arrive to a ‘new original’. What reproduction modes and techniques are available nowadays to an artist? What is the meaning of ‘original’ in the historical moment we are living in and what is its relationship to authenticity? What is a copy and what is a ‘new original’?
