For me topoi is a conversation based on images and videos that does not attempt to represent a preconceived idea. In this sense, it starts from affirmations or questions formulated by the words and the sets of photos or videos posted by Roman, Wanda and Andrés. These are questions pertaining to accumulated knowledge of phenomenology, epistemology, aesthetics and especially of individual complex histories, not necessarily totally conscious, related to our own specific conditions: what we remember, where we live, what affects us, how we live in our bodies, what we do for a living, etc.

My way of participating starts from the images and the words: I perceive some explicit and some hidden information in what A, W or R say and I try to relate, answer or propose something new that intrigues me. In that sense my pictures are very spontaneous: they are taken in the daily places of the daily space where I move.

The project has evolved with time: at the beginning we where somehow shy, trying to find a path, a common theme; at that time I was worried that trying to find a communication between artists and mathematicians could turn out to be too formal (symmetrical spaces, geometrical landscapes, etc). But soon after, we got into deep philosophical themes through our own bodies, through our own experiences inspired, in my case, by Marc Augé, Samson Kambalu, and Humboldt among others.

The second part of the project has a significant amount of videos where different qualities of time and space are incorporated; in some cases these videos also capture actions that we started doing, interventions on the space. The joint video that we put together combining all the clips reflects the unity of the project: even though in Project Topoi it is possible to separate the lines of each one of the voices, the actual meaning of this conversation arises from the combination of all the contents over time.
