Guntana's Installation Drawings: GOWL IN THE DARK

INSTALLATION DRAWINGS

Concept: To lead people to the Space

GOWL. (N) - Asshole, Idiot

Axonometric Drawing 

Plan View Drawing

Since the chosen site is a closed small space, I tried to make an installation that can be simply put and in the same time, do the best performance within the space. Basically, I decided to make the best uses out of what already existing in the toilet. This is how I am going to Kiss the Architecture.

Section Drawing

Light could be the best answer of how I am going to play with the whole space, because once it is installed, it can go everywhere to fill up the entire room.

EXISTING ELEMENTS

Toilet Door

When the door is closed, it controls the light to go up to the ceiling. It controls the amount of light that can be seen from outside, which will give some erotic feeling to the person in the space. In the same time, it blocks the person from seeing inside the toilet, which make he or she want to know what is actually behind the door.

Mirror

To continue with the idea of projecting the audiences to the installation, the audiences can experience the space, in the same time see their own expression on the mirror.

Toilet

Even in the toilet, I put a fighting fish in to play more with the feeling that normally most people will always think that water in toilets is dirty. But what if a fish can survive in there?

Ventilator

From outside, the audiences are able to see some of the light going through the ventilator. It is like an invitation to the audiences that make them want to know what is going on inside the toilet.

ADDITIONAL ELEMENTS

Toilet Wall Detail

By applying reflective sticker on the wall, it allows the light from the source behind the toilet to get reflected and shine out right after the door is opened.

Comparison Between Without Reflective Materials and With Reflective Materials

Moreover, it also enhances the power of light by reflecting them on the wall and send up to the ceiling or down to the floor.

Floating Pieces of Glass

Installation in Details

This floating pieces of plastic are hung over the toilet to give a second impact after the door is opened. Its transparent property let some light get reflected. It represents explosion of ice, coming out of the toilet. In the other hand, using string allows them to move when the wind flow pass, combining with the light source below, we are able to see some moving shadow, projected on the ceiling, which invite people from outside to open the door to see what is inside.

Two Kinds of Ice

As the first impact right after to get into the space, you can see a large amount of ice on the floor. But in the dark under backlight, there are actually 2 kinds of ice. One is normal ice, which reflects light into red color. And tonic water ice, which in normal condition is seem exactly like normal ice, but once it is applied under black light, it glows in blue color.
