enough room for space

idea overload. i need to restore order in my brain.

OBJECT
- physical presence an object holds in a room - alterting it's form/arrangement - using multiples
- history of the materials - what connotations do they carry? what is their effect on other objects/materials/spaces?
- taking objects out of context - combining materials/objects to make us question their context
                                          - RICHARD WENTWORTH making do and getting by - public  
                                          sculpture, public involvement, objects out of context, seen by an
                                                    

- true/false imagery - did i place the object there or was it a random act? does it matter? - photograph's of
                                actors crying
                              - object can transform our view of what we are seeing - e.g. photograph of a murder
                                 scene juxtaposed by a bottle of fake blood, makes us question the authenticity. VL Joe
                                Clark - lighting in photographs too precise? too symmetrical?

monkey imagination could not stretch to a tailless existence

i miss college :'(

if you're not outraged, you're not paying attention.

Life is very much more exciting now than it used to be

I haven't been updating my blog because I have been too busy trying to organise my final piece. I have decided to keep in with the theme of the 'oppression of women' and build a kitchen; the aim is to project the traits of insanity and confinement on to the audience so that they relate to and sympathise with the protogonist in 'The Yellow Wallpaper'.

Alongside working up to my final piece, I am still experimenting physically to explore the theme of isolation. Inspired by Douglas Gordon's 'Monster Reborn', I have taken a series of photos. Clingfilm frightens me.

I think that an installation that is based on experience, exactly like 'Blind Light', needs at least a video as reference, if not a visit! Unfortunately, a visit is out of the question. Below is a video filmed by James Kalm. It is by no means a professional video, but it gives a real insight into how the installation works and how powerful the dry ice effect is. The bit about this installation doesn't start till about 3.24 minutes in.


Polanski's 'Repulsion' is a film that I have come across while researching my final major project. So far I have only seen the trailer, but it seems very relevant, containing themes of insanity, femenism, claustrophobia etc. Here it is if anybody is interested:
