Individually a member of the audience will enter a room where she/he will talk about the path they have chosen; I will put on disposal 4 paths and each person will choose one of them before entering the room. Each discussion will be private but indirectly public, since the discussion will be relayed outside the room, giving the audience a certain familiarity with what will happen inside. Anyone through any door she/he chooses, can get to the core of every dialog, that core is the truth (As truth I mean the connection of every human on earth and a deep understanding of who we really are). The idea came from having doors or pathways from where someone enters to find their own clear understanding of how life on earth works and what it is needed for it. The doors will be represented by four cards (business card format) with a door drawing on them and the name of the pathway chosen. The doors chosen are four, like the 4 cardinal points (reference of direction, the direction or path taken). Each door represents a topic, a dialog at least beginning with the subject chosen. The topic chosen after careful consideration are: -God -Death -Equality -Freedom God is believed because our limited life on earth, he wants us equal and free. I want to be able to touch these topics from any point of view. The conversation will be just as ephemeral as any conversation on earth but they always teach us something that perhaps we will forget for a moment but that will be sow seeded on our deepest level. Atelier n.4 is a home for conversation where with each member of the audience I will sculpt a conversation create a new understanding hopefully of our limited point of view, to make discussions as something that can be sculptured malleable, change as a sculpture to find its perfection, its Renaissance in this contemporary and chaotic but at the same time brilliant society, where we can make use of our consciousness, where opening our eyes is exciting because understanding feeds us and make us rich inside. N.4 because the 4 doors to choose from (which on my point of view will merge into the same point, but that will see)., atelier because it is a place for creation. Physically at the end of the 4/5 days conversation I will have a collection of photos with me and each individual and the middle table will be completely covered with thumb print of each person creating a large scale canvas that will contain collectively each individual genetic, unique reference. It is far from police kind of identification since this is something to highlight our individuality in the collectiveness but at the same time highlighting the fact that we all live on the same earth (the thumb print on same canvas). The earth was pure at the beginning, such as the white canvas, it was touched by mankind in some cases misunderstood by individuals but some other times saved by others. The process is a question mark, the outcome will be as it is suppose to be…imperfect. Disposition: One speaker will be positioned just outside atelier N.4 and another one a little bit far from it. Outside the room: People will be invited through written text to listen to the audio Instruction (the instruction will tell audience to chose a theme so to take a card and enter the room with the topic they have chosen). Inside the room: They will be asked to print their thumb onto a big white table (covered by a canvas), this will highlight their unique genetic identity. Once they seat in front of me within 2.50 metres distance I will ask them to go ahead of explaining the reason of their choice so that the conversation in between me and a member of the audience can begin. The conversation has unlimited time, audience will have to ring a bell when they have enough, I will also ring a bell when it is enough for myself. At the end of the session each individual will be asked to take a picture side by side with me looking straight into the camera. The reason is because I would like to record their identity combined with mine and perhaps grasp through our eyes the depth of our conversation or connection in relation to each other. At the end of each day: I will print out all the pictures taken with each individual and install them outside the room. In each picture there will be myself next to 1 person who I had the conversation with, with written the time frame of our conversation underneath it.
