I have had some good feedback about my video performance piece from other students. As it is something I have not done before I wasn’t too sure about if it worked or really came across to the viewer with me being uncomfortable how I wanted it too. But I think it has.
I had a tutorial with Jane on Tuesday and we spoke about if I would be using this piece in the degree show and how. In a way I don’t want people to see it because it does make me feel uncomfortable knowing people are watching this process happening. But in the same way I do want people to see it to get my uncomfortable feelings across, and I do think it could be an important part in my show if used correctly. I want to experiment with a projector with the video to see how it works best, with angles and objects etc.
Jane suggested to me to look at the art Pipilotti Rist who works with film on a small scale. When we think of projections we automatically think of a massive projection. However what would happen if it were to be projected small, or onto something other than a wall? Would the material distort the image?
I am going to experiment with using a projector to see how my video works best. I would like to try projecting it onto the dress that was used in the video as I feel this would create a good link and might work well on the white of the material. Whether it would be less effective small I do not know. This is something I will have to experiment and weigh up the pros and cons.
