PINKY's: shophouse research: possible usage of shophouse's ground floor (public space)

PINKY's: Installation drawings

PINKY's: Documentation and post-analysis

Post-Analysis

The installation with different lights.

The installation covered the Hua Med. It does not fully covered the whole object behind. When the wind blew, the installation would move and change place as it revealed different part of Hua Med.

Installation on 10th floor balcony

Reaction of the viewer

On the day of presentation, the color light was broken so I used white spotlight instead. So the installation's effect did not fully perform as I intended for it to be. However, the white spotlight gives a different experience. The light was soften and comfortable to the eyes, making it more pleasant to look up at my installation. At first, I intended to use colored light because when the light's color changes, it will give different sensory.

When the wind blew, the installation move along the wind and it will change from positions to another without touching it.

The viewers have the tendency to look up to the Hua Med. The installation lead the viewers to look on Hua Med which was normally ignored because it was too high to stare at for a period of time. The installation successfully emphasized the object behind it.

PINKY's: Process and development

Process and Development

Eroticism is an emotional impact when the obvious becomes obscure. When something is hidden or forbidden to be seen the more you think and focus on that certain object. The less one sees, the more interesting it gets, the more naughty it is. An example to my statement is an 2 image of a naked female body. One photo showing all body parts, exposing all there is and the other photo a censored parts. A short glimpse at the exposed photo is acceptable but the longer you stare at the expose photo, the lesser attention you pay, you’ve seen it all, no more excitement is left to be reveal.

Censoring aims to cover up the forbidden part of something. Instead, censoring actually emphasizes the forbidden parts and makes it more appealing, more intriguing.

See, what censor can alter the picture.

Henrique Oliveira

-->

ø Brazilian artist , born in São Paulo and studied Arts at University of São Paulo.

ø ''I believe that the message is never art itself, but instead, the lack of a message is a characteristic that makes some creations interesting to me”

ø His art pieces were results of life experience, culture, language and exchange between people

Oliveira installations are in series. The large amoebic shapes installation can be easily recognized. As these installations usually devouring and invading the sites.

Most of his works were made of broken plywood that can commonly be found in the street in São Paulo. Plywood is used as an isolation for construction site. Its brokenness resembles the shape of brush stroke. These works are the representation of painting that use common materials; the representation of a new language of painting.

Plywood is a material that represent the world/ the context. Because of the size of the material, the installation needs to be large as it complying to the material.

His art is explained by himself that it does not have a specific message to the audiances. The lack of message gives the art more character and interest.
