Bill Viola – Tiny Deaths

Bill Viola’s Tiny Deaths is not quite classed as an installation, but video art. It is played within a room that is close to pitch black. You are unable to see who is with you, or if you are alone. Until however, the figures appear and then disappears with a crescendo of light. This crescendo…

Thomas Demand

At first glance, you see this as a photograph. But is it? Take a closer look. Are they leafs? Is that glass? The answer is no. This is a photograph of a model of a photograph. Created by German artist Thomas Demand, who painstakingly cut and folded thousands upon thousands of pieces of card in…

Project Feedback Sessions – March 24th.

Today I had two feedback sessions with two different artists. Both Juliet and Anna are art based practitioners and so I felt could give me some more broad advice instead of just photographic advice. Recently I’ve been stuck as to where to take my project next, how to get to the next steps in order…

Raw Materials – Bruce Nauman

My project has started to take a slight turn in that my installation now feels as though it is about the experience I create for the viewer. In order to feel what I wish the viewers to feel, they have to experience my installation in such a way it allows for that feeling to really…

Natividad by Guillermo “Habacuc” Vargas

Whilst looking into installations and the different types that exist, I came across Natividad. Now, Natividad isn’t necessarily a ‘bog standard’ installation as it wasn’t built for the specific environment that it was placed in, which most installations are, however, I chose to look into Natividad as it had a very strong authority over those…

Oil Paintings by Davide Cambria.

I have been struggling lately to think of a photographic element to incorporate into my installation. I’m not sure whether to still have photography, or which route to take in terms of genre of photography. I had an idea or a thought of using self-portraiture as the photographic element, taking a self-portrait every day until…

The Entire Processed Sequence.

So, now I have all the sounds processed to sound how I’d like them. I worked with the musician helping me and arranged them all to fit into a whole sequence. This sequence is around 50 minutes long, as of yet, I’m unsure as to whether it would be beneficial to reduce the time of the…

The Front Door Opening and Closing

As 1 of the 3 elements of my installation is sound. I have been working with a talented musician, recording household sounds. These recorded sounds have then been processed to sound slightly less recognisable, but not unrecognisable. Processing them to sound higher in pitch – Screechy.  

The Washing Machine.

As 1 of the 3 elements of my installation is sound. I have been working with a talented musician, recording household sounds. These recorded sounds have then been processed to sound slightly less recognisable, but not unrecognisable. Processing them to sound higher in pitch – Screechy.

Joan Jonas – Vertical Roll 1972

During a feedback session today, it was mentioned that it might be more successful if all the three components of my installation matched each other. At the moment the audio that I have created, to put over the videos does not match the videos at all purposely. So, some feedback mentioned that it might have…

The Toilet Flushing.

As 1 of the 3 elements of my installation is sound. I have been working with a talented musician, recording household sounds. These recorded sounds have then been processed to sound slightly less recognisable, but not unrecognisable. Processing them to sound higher in pitch – Screechy.  

The Kitchen Sink Emptying.

As 1 of the 3 elements of my installation is sound. I have been working with a talented musician, recording household sounds. These recorded sounds have then been processed to sound slightly less recognisable, but not unrecognisable. Processing them to sound higher in pitch – Screechy.
