City Diaries. With an international university project called SkypeLab, my students and I went to several cities like Melbourne, Shanghai, Rio de Janeiro, Barcelona and New York City. While watching my students working on the project, I almost became jealous of their wonderful, creative and crazy ideas. It made me look for what I could contribute myself, not as a teacher but as an artist. Thus I began to capture our travels in a photographic diary. I took photos in each city, later cutting, pasting, painting and collaging them. This is how my SkypeLab Diaries about Melbourne, Shanghai and Rio de Janeiro came about.
