This paper lays out the thinking process and decisions taken in an artistic methodology and an emerging thesis project. Here, imagination, reflection and projection are interpreted both as methods in looking and as inner spaces; they are ways to see and ways to be, and the main topic of this research. States of mind and of vision are explored through observation and introspection. Walking, transit and travel are ways employed to allow a slowness in looking and an opportunity to daydream. These experiences in space and time are recorded through methods of writing, photography and videography. I build installations in which this translation from moment to media is displayed to create an immersion for the viewer to be in. In the multimedia installations, the gallery becomes a space in which to reflect and project: it too allows a slowness in looking, thinking and noticing.
