Having spent the whole day on Piazza della Republica in Urbino from morning till late night, I have used a method of drawing, erasing and taking pictures of the process to record the ongoing activity of the piazza. Once the drawing was finished, I have created a stop frame animation from resulting sequence of photos.
While drawing, I discovered that many people, both tourists and from Urbino have taken my work almost for a street performance. They were talking to me, taking pictures, asking to buy the drawing and advising what to draw. If Urbino was a stage on that day, then I was its actor!
The project was done as part of Werkplaats Typografie and ISIA Urbino Summer School in July 2014.
