Sky's Installation Drawings: 'Proxy'

My solution on the decision of choosing the site for installation and installation idea mostly came from how I looked eroticism towards architecture. Firstly started from the word ‘kissing’ architecture that I understand that it is the contact of the surfaces, not only by physically touched but also by many other different medias too. I understand erotic in the way of the attractive feeling towards something. In my term it’s comparable to gloomy mysterious corner that seems to pull us into it. This specific attraction creates a feeling of ‘eagerness’ to ‘embrace’ it.

My installation would take place somewhere that have a distinctive texture for the people to touched, ‘embrace’, it. Thus my choice will be on the third floor at faculty of architecture, where one side of the wall is made of bricks created a unique texture from any other plain-cemented walls. So using the advantages of the site efficiently. 

By embracing the architecture, in the dark, can alter the surrounding atmosphere. Giving the idea of creating an artificial environment from what you see, but not next to you, proxy.

The only image that you can see from the site is the huge tree outside the building, so extracting every element from the tree and transport them into the installation have to be very precise. This will create an artificial atmosphere within the installation itself.

The style of installation would be somewhat making the people interacts to the installation directly, so every sense would have to be considering in this work. The walking path into my installation is forced to walk along the texture wall, narrowing the path down, in order to make the people automatically sense the texture.

All the chairs that are in messed in the site are used as a barrier to block the circulation, and vision. Covered by large black clothes, giving a sense of ‘void’ as the entire area is replaced by darkness, from the surrounding and also artificial materials that are used for installation. Why paint them in black? Since the site is small, and require for the people to walk in and out, the endless perspective vision will be important.

When enter the installation, people will feel strangely intense, and focus only on the image of the tree outside. When continued walking, people will hear a sound of dried leaves on the ground when stepped on constantly, while embracing a wooden-like texture on the wall. The atmosphere around that person will slowly changes, due to the time that the person stayed in the installation. In the end, they will experience proxy of the tree surrounding them.

Material placement on the site which will give a similar sound and texture of the tree.

The materials that are used in the installation includes black sprayed foam, fake dried branches, black clothes and chairs.

---------------------------

The circulation of the people will be force to only one way path, which is the stairs from second floor of the building. This is because to keep the proxy image as secret as possible, creating more effectiveness of the installation.
