Boris Dörning - Caused Notes #2

Cities are the favorite living spaces created and constantly redesigned by humans. Today, more than half of the world‘s population lives in urban centers. It can be said that the city is the pervading form of society. This is where we act, interact, meet each other and shape our present. The city creates concrete spaces in which social interactions take place, permanently surrounds our bodies, directs movements and evokes views. The city is not only perceived visually, but also physically. The question of what kind of city we want to live in is closely linked to the question of what kind of people we want to be. Cities carry the traces of our social and cultural values and influence the way we shape our identity. What remains of us when we leave? Do buildings tell our stories? Do echoes of days gone by lie dormant in their walls, the traces of our actions in their floor plans? Architecture is a reflection of our time and tells us a lot about the people who created it. Its forms, materials and functions reflect our values, our fears and our hopes. They are time capsules that reflect our culture and our society. When we are gone one day, our houses may still be standing. What will they tell our successors about us? Will they be seen as testimonies to a great era or as memorials to our mistakes?

About Boris Dörning
Hello, my name is Boris Dörning. I´m a lens based artist and motion designer. Graduated with diploma in Visual Communication at HfG Offenbach with the majors Film / Video, class of Prof. Rotraut Pape and Theory of Perception in the class Prof. Dr. Hans Zitko. My artistic approach is rooted in the idea of exploring the seemingly banal. I´m particularly interested in raising awareness of the urban spaces and architecture through which we move every day. I usually focus on fragments. My intention is to archive, analyze and critically reflect on the lived reality.
