Moving in

Here are a few photos in which show the space I have to work with. The space allocated to me has a lot of light and because I am projecting a video I will need to block it out some how. I like how bare the space is because I think this will immediately make my video stand out.

I have recently just sent out my blurb to be published for the brochure we have made for the exhibition. Where as in my proposal I briefly go over what I would like to do, it has changed since then and my idea is underway.

Having gained more confidence with working with video, I am making a video based on myself getting ready for the day. The idea is that it is exactly the same everyday, so it could be represented as a personal ritual. This could be my subconscious Religion, getting ready for the day.

The video will be short because I have found that in a gallery situation, you want to keep the viewer engaged and keep them watching. This is an interesting development from the last video piece I created which was an hour long. At the time it was okay for the viewer to drop into it. But for this piece I think it is important the viewer knows what is going on and can pick it up straight away whenever they drop in.
