Well I haven't been updating a lot lately due to an essay proposal being due, then my wisdom tooth deciding to make an appearance, but here's a little update on what I've been doing:
I had a little experiment with overlapping videos using two projectors. I used the footage I've collected of underpasses. I really like the way the images interact as they play over each other. The actual video is a sped up version of the event, just because it's more of a documentation of what occurred rather than a piece in itself.
I've finally had an idea of what to do with all these photos of underpasses and abandoned buildings that I've been taking. I've had a little experiment with putting the photos in frames and actually putting them up in public spaces, such as the underpasses I've been photographing:
People seemed to react in a favourable way as they walked passed too, smiling, which I didn't expect but felt really nice. I want to move on with this idea over the summer and actually start leaving pictures in places, especially abandoned buildings. I really like the idea of only a very small group of people actually seeing them, I think that's just because of the whole chance encounter idea. Maybe it's just about showing people that they weren't the first ones into a space, I haven't worked it out yet.
Anyway, we're setting up for our final assessments today, so this is the state of my studio space at the end of year 2:
It's taken me a long time to decide what to actually do with these images, but now I have an idea I'm quite happy that I can run with it for a while. I feel like I could have done more work this year, but hopefully I can make up for it!
