Project Proposal















From the ancient history, humankind is addicted to learn about the future. Particularly his own future. Sometimes, in some civilisations, people are more concerned about "future" than "present". So that, they couldn't have utilized their "present" to bulid a satisfactory "past" for their "future"...

What was the reason behind it?
Leaving the metaphysical curiousities aside, those people were enough sane to realize; that there was no way to learn future...
Another reason may lie behind it; it is the human factor: deluding rhetorics and persuasion abilities of fortunetellers. This ability is unique as much as seeing future or being a cubist artist...

Once upon a time, some man made the canvas talk; and became a great painter; some made the wood sing; and became a great pianist; some man learnt about future from a coffee pot or tarot cards; and got burnt...

Can they be the first intermediatics?

I am going to try to investigate the moments that people face with their so-told future. Those moments through which a discrete isolation occurs between person and his own future. The dynamics beneath this isolation and the parameters such as “telling” and “abstract forms and shapes” will show me the path to reveal the answers.

the way of seeing fortune tellers as "intermediatics" sounds amazing. as jeffrey told, u may think about involving the fortune teller in the happening which would be a performance as well
