ACTUAL WORK
Powers of Drawing – Aesthetics of transformation
Helle’s work with spatial aesthetics operates with drawing-transformations as processes of trans-medial and intermedial space-time expositions. The work engages the aesthetics of movement as an architectural driver, with key questions summed up: how can we implement aesthetic forces of movement as potential powers of drawing?
Movement is an obvious part of the experience of architectural space, and in architectural drawing, a lot of communicative and functional aspects of movement are represented. The aesthetic aspect of movement, though, is another matter, and it is these aesthetic aspects - partly intertwined with etic aspects - that are his focus.
His work is exposed mostly as videos and drawings. The actual work-in-progress is to be implemented as an Augmented Reality or AR "installation." Parallelly the work relates to theoretical theses and stands for the aesthetics of movement or gesture.
