Caprricio + Manifesto

   

    Since in the prehistoric age until today, we, as human beings, are capable of telling and passing on stories, myths and legends to younger generations. The narratives (meaning) of these stories are up to the choice of the teller, what one chooses to tell or omit. Through these different narratives, the stories are embed within the listener’s memory until when the narrative is broken.

   The question is “what can break a narrative sequence” and what breaking it do to a narrative?

   The exploration of the experience of narrative through choice and the experience of the alteration or the dismissals of known narratives is done through the use of colour, material, sound, objects and dimensions. The expectation of all these elements to correlate and in sequence with each other is now challenged and instead, be replaced with the extraction and the dismissal of narratives elements.

     How the expectation of a narrative leads to emotional satisfaction and how some of the elements of these narratives are omitted are being explored.  For example, how one could know a story so well but they still enjoy reading it over and over again because it gives the satisfaction but once the story doesn’t continue like it usually is, the whole experience of the reader changes.

   The variety of choice or paths which that can be taken in any sequence will determine each element of a narrative and how that specific path leads to a different narrative than the other paths. The building up of a narrative through each path can be determines by the choice of oneself.

    The expectation of a narrative and their emotional senses such as the contradiction between a dark pathway and a bustling city will be combined together to form one of the many narratives, creating a different spatial configuration.

     The exploration of this topic questions the impact of a series of different narratives have on space and people, and the dependant of a narratives through choice. Moreover, questions the impact of a broken narrative sequence have on spatial qualities.

Metaphorical cappriccio- shows the concept/thesis of how a meaning of anarrative changes
through time and also through illustrations.

Literal cappricio: shows the simulator. How different parts of the narrative, colour, objects, size creates a
completely different space and how does it creates a new narrative in itself.
