i particulary like this one because it represente my general idea about 'between light and shadow'

some pics about shadow

questionning myself

The question I ask myself is how can I start my project, I’m doing usual research, history of Montpellier, analyses of sites, what we can understand to the sentence “between light and shadow’ but I don’t feel it.
This project needs poesy, what’s the relationship between light and shadow?
One can’t exist without the other…that’s a relation really ambiguous, how can I do something between 2 things which couldn’t be dividing or separate?
So instead of being “between”, the project will be to create something to add between the light and the shadow…or put the spectator between the light and the shadow, he could became an actor of the piece…
And the piece should have a relationship with the environment

after few days of reflection

I started my project trough different angle;
The first one is the 'between light and shadow aspects', i have to define what's the meaning for me of BETWEEN, the subject is not light and shadow but between light and shadow. I think that's really perturbating. That’s why I barrow few books to the library ‘making light’ by Ingo Maurer which is more or less in the subject, ‘lightbook’ by Ulrike Brandi and Christoph Geissmar-Brandi which is about the relationship between light and environment, ‘light zone city’ by Christa Van Santen which is about light planning in an urban context,’L.I.G.H.T.I.N.G’by Edward Effron which was useless because just about furniture and provoking magic’ by Ingo Maurer which was the best book I borrowed. Why?
First there is some concept about light in it that i really like:
-illuminating with memory and emotion
-creation of a piece of art
-notes of inspiration: playing with shadow
-provoking magic through collaboration
-underlining the existent
I’ll go deeper for the understanding of the magic of light but let’s start with Monptellier
This is my second angle: first i had a look where were the sites:
-7 place du marché aux fleurs
-1 rue de la carbonnerie
-26 rue de l’aiguillerie
-2 place petrarque
-5 place du sauvage
-14 rue des trésorier de la bourse
-14 rue eugene lisbonne
-12 rue du plais des guilhem
-place de la canourge
I have to find few pictures of this places because that’not really good on google earth

Story of Montpellier:
Montpellier (Occitan(language of the south of france) Montpelhièr) is a city in southern France. It is the capital of the Languedoc-Roussillon region, as well as the Hérault department.
The population of the commune of Montpellier at the 2006 census was 251,392, whereas the whole metropolitan area had a population of 600,000 in 2006. In 2008, the estimated population of the metropolitan area was 533,000.
The city is situated on hilly ground 10 kilometres inland from the Mediterranean coast on the River Lez. The name of the city, which was originally Monspessulanus, is said to have stood for mont pelé (the naked hill, because the vegetation was poor), or le mont de la colline (the mount of the hill)Montpellier is located 52 kilometres from Nîmes, 168 kilometres from Marseille, 248 kilometres from Toulouse. The city is built on two hills, Montpellier and Montpelliéret, thus some of its streets have great differences of altitude. Some of its streets are also very narrow and old, which gives it a more intimate feel.
