    MASS MOVEMENT

    The core of Freud’s “crowd behaviour” theory is that people who are in a crowd act differently from those who are thinking individually. The minds of the group would merge to form a way of thinking and one becomes less aware of the true nature of one’s actions.
    This exhibition is an attempt to portray the psychology of the crowd, whether it is called heritage, civilization, social organization, universality, globalization, urbanism, fashion, or mainstream.
    The habitat and the society are both subjects to an accumulation factor, forming together a certain mass that has its own thought and behaviour, requirements and regulations.
     
    The direction, distance, sequence, pace, order and rhythm can be visually translated… In these spaces there is compression and a taut of energy, a behaviour pattern that overcomes thee single-valued, the expected and prevalent that prevails over the exceptional and genuine.
    It is a collective effort and energy to be simply and passively common.
