Real Path / Imaginary Path Method
Resource: Power | Gender and Power through and in Art
This video introduces a creative and reflective method titled “Real Journey / Imagined Journey”, inspired by Belgian artist Werner Moron. The exercise is designed to explore questions of gender, identity, and personal experience through writing, imagination, and artistic thinking.
⚠️ Note: This video is in French, with English subtitles available.
The method guides participants through a structured process that begins with recalling a real personal memory and gradually transforms it into an imagined version. Through this shift—from factual experience to creative reinterpretation—participants uncover deeper meanings and develop ideas for artistic creation.
🔹 In this video, you will explore:
- How to work with personal memories as a starting point for artistic reflection
- Writing as a tool for exploring gender-related experiences
- The transition from real experience to imagined narrative
- How to identify key concepts emerging from personal stories
- Turning individual experiences into universal artistic questions
Participants first write a factual account of a personal memory related to gender or identity. Then, they reimagine the story by introducing fictional or ideal elements—transforming the narrative and opening new perspectives.
The final step invites participants to extract a core concept and, if possible, develop it into a broader question that can guide future creative work.
This method creates a safe and structured space for self-expression, reflection, and dialogue, supporting both individual exploration and collective learning.
