The Abstraction of Perspective, Structure and Movement
"Perspective is perception of depth -
Abstraction is creating realities deprived of all realism"
Jonathan Berkh
"I always wanted to be anarchistic and rebellious. It just never worked for me - it always back-fired. When others got away with almost everything, I always was the one that had to pay his dues... So I turned to a much more subtle way of anarchism. I started to analyse structures intellectually, took them apart, broke them down into little bits and pieces. The smaller the pieces got, the more abstract they got and then I was able to rearrange and move those little bits and pieces around and use the structures to my liking, to put everything into new perspectives."
Perspective - perception of depth - the appearance of viewed objects with regard to their relative position; a sense of expansion; regarding objects in relation to position and distance from the viewer; the sense of existence in space before the eye; the relation of two figures in the same plane, a point of view, a state of mind; the understanding that things are of relative importance - the perception of depth in anything; thought, view, space, surface, idea, word, ...
Abstraction - creating realities deprived of all realism - is the quality of dealing with ideas rather than events, in thought, view, space, surface, idea, life experience, word, ... anything. It is something visionary and/or unrealistic; absence of preoccupation; the process of considering something independently of this associations or attributes, something that only exists as an idea; taking away layers to get to an essence - creating a reality deprived of all realism.
Structure - chaos, creativity, places, technique, rules, thoughts, ideas, respect, tolerance, acceptance, inspirational elements in archictural-, urban- and natural landscapes.
Movement - allowing existence, bodies, thoughts, ideas, techniques,elements, spaces, objects, relations, positions, views, minds, importances ... to freely change places and perspectives.
"The physical movemental involvement of the body is an essential part of the process of creating."
