The following video is the culmination of my recent ideas of displacing a living room set up into the outside setting. I'm not really sure if I meant it to be as apocalyptic as it turned out, but I like the sort of lonely quality it has. I projected this video into my studio space as part of our final assessment for Semester A
This week I'm moving on to start producing plans and maybe even building a projection screen that I can take outside. I'm also looking into generators that can run a projector.

Update
So it's been a long time again between posts mainly due to the stressful dissertation period in December and obviously Christmas and new year, but now I'm crashing straight back in to prepare for my upcoming assessment next week.
My ideas have developed and changed a lot since my last posts. I started to think about the types of spaces present in my work and come up with ways to name these and work with them. In relation to previous work I've been referring to the set up of an armchair and a TV as created space, for obvious reasons, the video being projected I have been calling Recorded space, (this is all on top of exploring the relationship between Living space and Dead space). From this I started to think about more spaces I could bring into the work, or even bring the work to and so I came to the idea of exploring my work as an installation out in the open air (Real space).
At the moment I'm drawing heavily from the film The Wall, where one scene shows a man seemingly watching a TV outside and also looking into the artist Rune Guneriussen, whose photographs show inanimate objects outside in the environment, i.e. lamps and chairs.
These inspired me to create the following set of images:
I love the way the light comes out from the portable TV in these images and the surreal look of an actual living room set up outside in the middle of a field. I like the idea of displacing space like this.
