Scratches
Axonometric drawing of the installation
The choice that I made to do with my installation is to use
the advantage of the site that I have to create an installation that get
together with the architecture. In terms of ‘erotic’ toward ‘architecture’, my
interpretation to the word erotic is to reach what you can’t and when you can
you don’t want to stop feeling it. Not only when you sense it but also after
you perceive it. Not a short-term installation but the long-term sensation.
My installation took place at the other side’ of the glass
block wall at ground floor. The wall separate two circumstance apart, first one
is the artificial world that we are living in, and the second one is the
neglected world that we ignore.
Glass block is a translucent material, which provides visual
obscuration while admitting light. Look through the wall; you will be able to
see, yet unable to see. You be able to kiss architecture that you cant see
meanwhile you didn’t notice the existence of what in front of you.
The Media that I choose to use are light and sound along
with the atmosphere of the existing site. Light can travel through glass block
and it can be guide by mortar that fills the gap between each block. Light
can’t be control but can be determine. The sequence of light that I designed is
a choreography that reveals the space gradually. The distance between the
participant and the space that light shine through will create different
feelings due to the distance and time that passed by. Also the distance between
the light and the wall is a significant matter. It will reduce density of the
light but it will affect more area. For the sound part, I composed the music by
using the sequencing diagram of the light as my music sheet. Each note
represents different types and different locations of the light. High note
represents the light that has less distance and lower note stand for the more
distance.
First thing that you will experience is the humidity of the
space. Then you will hear the sound of the householder, which are rats, insects
and more that I, myself, couldn’t see. Begin with the short period of sound, suddenly
the light spread into your eyes. It a 60-second experience that will remain for
more than 60-second. You will kiss the other side of that glass block while the
space in front of you is going to kiss you unexpectedly. Like a scratches, you got it by not knowing it will happen.
It doesn’t hurt that much and sometimes it doesn’t have a wound that obviously
seen.
But it will remain longer than the time that you have been
scratched.

what you will see from 'in front of' and 'behind' the glass block wall
Drawings are very clear in defining the practical aspects of the project and the development process but there is not much of a sensorial definition in these yet. You need to start finding ways in which you can define the sensorial aspects of the space that are revealed through the piece (in this case through spending time in the space and through drawing attention to it).
ReplyDeleteThe connection of abstract diagrams (or "partiture") with drawings of the space is very clear and the set is easily readable.
