Final Documentation
As a result came out with the choice of using a material just light & project, there are no other elements involve in this place. The installation was just red light on the 2levels and the angle of projection along the stair. The shadow projection was meant to be up side down to create a feeling of rotation in the space ( this is from the rotation concept of Escher drawing where his people is walking on the stair at another perspective view and it looks like it was upside down. The placement of each material was also meant to create the shadow from the user, while walking around the site there will be both user shadow & projection shadow on the wall. The sound that was include in this area to make user imagine what is going on around the staircase.
What is "EROTIC"?
To me the first thing that came into mind is actually something doing with sexual, but in this place when it came into architecture it makes me think more about people feeling and what capture them to stare at. It is kind of like the first impression that when you saw something that really attract you and then it slowly diffuse away. This is some sort of feeling that could not be explain because different people would feel the different ways this have prove to me by doing this project people do think and feel differently, they all have different experiences toward my installation. To me this became one of the erotic thing that is happening here is the first impression that each individual person would have.
The final documentation of the project is very good, specially the photographs, but there was no clear form of feedback in the end?
ReplyDeleteRegardless, I believe the installation was very compelling and immersive, bringing the visitor into the experience gradually and giving a sense of anticipation that was intriguing and delivered in then end (lived up to expectations). Perhaps the most interesting aspect to carry forward was the way in which things happening in other spaces could be anticipated through the staircase. This could be considered when you are dealing with different programs in the shophouse, a space fully dependent of its vertical connection.
Overall, good job!
