David Rhys Jones - Portfolio

Informed by journeys or site-specific locations, this
work was developed as the focus of an MA at Central
Saint Martins. The journeys are planned in advance
and recorded using photographs and drawings.

The work draws inspiration from Charles
Baudelaire's concept of the 'flâneur', as a detached
observer of the modern metropolis.

'He, the lover of life, may also be compared to a
mirror as vast as a crowd: to a kaleidoscope
endowed with conciousness, which with every one of
its movements presents a pattern of life, in all it's
multiplicity, and flowing grace of all the elemements
that go to compose life.'
