| Feelings of visitors in different stage (waiting, walking in, staying in the elevator) Erotic concept related to each stage |
The installation was intended to be on the left and right side of the elevator. Bubble wraps are supposed to be the same size as the mirror since I want the installation to be part of the architecture too. They are stuck on the wall with transparent tapes because I want the installation to blend in with the wall as much as possible. Therefore, we could see red bubbles on the shiny silver wall of the elevator. From the experiment I observed, most people walked in and they would look in the mirror first so I used advantage of the reflection of the mirror too. This installation is supposed to reduce stress, kill time in the elevator, and make people happy (just like reaction from experiment video).
As visitors waiting for the elevator, they would feel very normal and steady, but as the elevator's door open I expected them to be surprised of the installation (expected that the visitor didn't know that there is the installation in there). From the experiment, people would look in the mirror first, they might realised that the text are reflected and will be readable from the mirror. As they walked into the elevator, there might be so many questions in their mind. Why? What? How? (Stage1 of erotic concept:desire, passion, curiosity, mystery) The stage when they are locked down in the elevator and waiting for their destination, they might 'want' to look at them closer and make up their mind of which side they are walking toward, and find out what they are (Stage2 of erotic concept: WANT). I'm pretty sure that finally people would touch bubbles with colours and find out that water in leaking out as they touch them. Now, this is the stage that they have to make up their mind whether they are going to squeeze them or not (Stage3 of erotic concept: unable to squeeze)...
From the experiment, most people would want to squeeze those bubbles and this is the stage that we could observe the visitors (inspired by Marina Abramovic) (Stage4 of erotic concept: desire, passion, curiosity, mystery). Finally, Find out whether visitors are going to do what they want or not, whether they are going to 'preserve' or 'destroy' those bubbles, whether they want to squeeze what are allowed (be rough) or do what are forbidden (be gentle). All of these results are depending on each person, might depend on their experience, their personality and many more. To observe how people react is the funniest part!
