Ambares is a project elaborated within the Thesis Research:

Ambares: A Recomposition of The Exotic for Online Sharing

The Research analyses paradoxical relations between Experience and Image, the crafting of territories of identity/alterity in Social Network Sites and the collective project of redefining and sharing The Exotic through them. The research interrogates through artistic practice the current use of The Exotic in the Image-based world of Social Network Sites.

To the Visitors:

Most of the places you know, you don’t know. There are many distant little towns that you have seen on screens, but haven’t really visited.  However, through images, they come to exist in your internal geography, in your constellation, in your image-world. Then, you have a new place without knowing it and in your daily escapes, in your tropical dreams, it becomes a possible somewhere else.

Most of the times you run away in the everyday; routine is fueled with Exotic remedies. These places are floating always there, like a colorful cloud on top of a monochrome landscape.

The Exotic Place is a recombination of a collective dream; a violent jumble of fantasies. It lives within the folding and refolding of geography; within a chaotic implosion of territories. The Exotic is carefully crafted to be a mirror of difference and flashing distance. The most powerful experience is that of fantasizing. The most turbulent creation is that of Geography.
