Intimate/macro space and covered/trajectory space an exploratory installation that with projection will, through material bind the two.

An every day material such as electrical tape exists in its potential state as a sizeable object that can be experienced intimately, regardless of perspective. Furthermore when the tape is then unwound it begins to cover the space, which then transplants it into the domain of perspective, and it is at this point where the medium of presentation comes to the fore in negotiating the trajectory space.

Two different coloured tapes will be used to begin this exploration. One will unwind up to the other which begins unwound; the second then winds up after collision with the first. The frame in which the film is projected (or the composition in which the content is edited) acts as a boundary for where to tape can extend to. This boundary therefore prevents the second tape from overrunning the perceivable space and acts as a wall upon which the second tape bounces off and then begins to wind itself back into its original state, thus the cycle starts all over again as a reflection of itself.

The amount of space covered depends on the space in which the projection exists. However as the actual tape that is filmed will be present in the installation set up and it will be a prerequisite for the tape in the film to be proportionate to the tape that physically exists. The tape that physically exists is to be presented upon, (thus highlighting) the apparatus/equipment that makes the installation possible: namely the DVD player and the Digital Projector.

The film itself will be especially simple and will be played on loop as if the context is endless and the person viewing the work can enter at any point and exit at any point. The speed of the film however will be notably slow as this is needed to make reference to something that is almost still but then is moving with a willingness of momentum. This willingness of momentum I think is important as the covered space is then more strenuous. The film can be made at a good speed but then will have to be slowed down during editing.
