Abstract: | SSW 30 Knots or Boukadoura is a site-specific visual art installation piece, which has been presented alongside, and in collaboration, with Dr Murphy McCaleb's sound piece: Heart of The Matter. This collaboration was presented as part of SelfScapes Event 2; an exhibition and research event that explores artistic dialogue within the narrative of the forest. Kolaiti's SSW 30 Knots or Boukadoura explores the notion of personal mapping as symbolic landscape. The family album is seen as a metaphor where a dialogue between inherited and attributed self is initiated. An imaginary sailing boat installed in a forest creates a feeling of displacement associated with that experienced during long journeys, relocation and the process of drafting personal maps. The characters featured in the images perform imaginary scenarios influenced by old family photographs; these scenarios are based on the concept of the 'road' as an symbolic notion of selfhood. The concept behind this project has been strongly influenced by Peck's psychoanalytic writings of 1978 and the relationship between personal and collective narrative. This installation piece was presented at Dalby Forest between the 22nd June-15th July 2018. The project was supported by York St John University, Dalby Forest, Arts Council England and Forestry Commission England. |
