Fathers
The second project at F13
20 August 2008 â 20 September 2008
I was watching a telly with a programme for kids about Picasso. The presenter said: âFather of Picasso, an art teacher, saw once his son drawing a pigeon and was so impressed that he quite art. Thatâs how he was proud.â
I can imagine the game of characters where you have to fill the gap and it goes like âI’m most likely to be a ….. fatherâ.
I could say for example: âIâm most likely to be a proud fatherâ.
But I can think about a few more qualities. I can be a crazy father, I can be a paranoid father, and I can be a relaxed father. I can be a father with 1001 faces.
The Fathers project in F13 will be in progress. The concept of being a father and relations towards him are in a constant change.
