It’s been a really busy couple of weeks around here. There’s a month and half left until my final hand-in date. A month and a half until I basically finish my degree. How crazy is that…! After 3 years of the biggest mix between being happy and frustrated with my work, I have grown so much and I am so happy to have gone into Graphic Design and developed more art-based work.
I’ve been working on the notions of space, body and movement through my projects and recently developed more images on my personal explorations of space. When I first became interested in this subject, my main concern was ‘How do I make empty space visible?’. Somewhere along the way, I somehow left this question behind – and moved on to other ones, which I feel are just as interesting.
Last week I spent some time at the photgraphy studio and these photos came out. By re-enacting the same exercises I had done before with white objects (chairs, table…), now with a black chair onto a black backdrop, I (all dressed in white), became the negative space. As I wrap myself around the chair, my body adapts to the angles and curves of the chair, and becomes the only think that’s actually visible.
I’m happy with this inverting of spaces in a 3D format – not only inverting colours/spaces digitally on a 2D format, but experimenting and manually producing inverted environments. All of the images I’ve produced so far made me develop my interest for the search of geometry within the body – this will be something I’ll re-consider with these white-on-black photos.
