Vasinth's Installation Drawing: I wanna DELVE into you

I WANNA DELVE INTO YOU: QUESTIONS OF 'DOUBT'?

Here is a brief layout of how the installation will be regulated and interact with the audience.  If I were to 'reveal' Chula from it's concealment, I compared as if you were with a stripper trying to unstrap the corset off her body.  The features for stationing the fabric to occupy the spaces in between the pillars was using strings to create tension and prevent from loosening the fabric's hold.  Simply if a shoe or corset is untied, you couldn't wear into them well, so tying the strings to connect the ends of the fabric together tight enough would cover the inner layers, unable to read the messages unless it has been cut through.

The installation consists of four layers of black fabric, each one containing a different message. The messages, challenges the thoughts of audience (especially INDA students) whether studying here was a rightful decision, questioning whether the audience's definition and expectations of a college/university life matches with what reality has given them.  The messages on these fabric sheets include (from first till last):

"WE EXPECT HIGH ON WHAT COLLEGE LIFE WOULD BE...."

"IF ARCHITECTURE WAS A TORTURE TO YOU, WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO STAY?"

"THE WORLD BECOMES MORE COMPETITIVE, WILL YOU EVEN GET A JOB?"

"IS ARCHITECTURE YOUR ESSENCE?"

INTENDED EFFECTS

My intention for this installation wasn't aiming to see how visitors would react physically to the installation, but rather in a sense the cognitive thought of visitor's perspective at first compared to what thoughts have changed after experiencing the installation (if any).  Cutting through the fabric and exposing/peeling off the layers was a strategy relating to my concept of searching, investigation and delving in to the core, with the help that curiosity motivates to act.  The diagram below demonstrates the instructions of how the installation and audience should circulate:

Phase 1                                       Phase2                                                 Phase 3                                                  Phase 4

Phases 2 and 3 are repetitive as the layers unfold.  While all the fabrics layers have been unwrapped, the final layer (Phase 4) remains, while the message can only be read at the inner side of the space.
