The photograph has been scrutinized for data, and in this still image (taken from the 1984 sci-fi film Blade Runner) it is shown to tell more than what appears. By looking through the surface deep into the reflections in the mirror, the protagonist is able to find a necessary clue. See entire clip here---->x
This blogspace is a cobbling together of research strands and ideas in the development of concepts and benchmarks for the delivery of "Sculpture and Image" ART2925 course Jan - April 2014, Department of Visual Arts, University of Ottawa. It contains references and links for students in this class.
willingness to work with the uncertainties and the constantly evolving experiences we have in the world
In this project the photograph is used as a way to consider physical space. A main condition of the photograph is its capturing of time. As well there is a constant evolution, or progression to the state of existing things, that they in effect are instances of their existence in time.
PROCESS: select an image, event, figure, object, situation, concept
Categorize it according to a "stayed" position, à la Cartier-Bresson's decisive moment, or even in terms of a definition, "It is THIS".
The artwork you make is an 'undoing' of this instance, of this definition. It is to provide the layering and the expanded view, or the exploded view of the instance. See "Things Come Apart" link in side-column.
Materials: Open
Consider: the frame of reference in which we are to observe the work in its final form
I'll be looking at the wider context with which the work is displayed: the state of the wall, the floor, the plinth etc. Clean them and have us (your viewers) focus on what it is you are saying with your work!
