Folding time/space

20 perspectives, shot using a 20-year-old film from the 20-faced platform, repeated 20 times, then printed, folded and placed onto a 20-section-template.

Blurring time, distorting space, confusing experience!

With only 14 days until my hand-in deadline, it would be fair to say that I haven't been as conscientious as I could have been with blogging my work. Over the next month – in the build up to the degree show – I'll be posting some of the experiments (successes and failures) that I've enjoyed so far this year.

Above is a quick experiment in narrating Bronzino's Venus, Cupid, Folly & Time through the gestures and contorted positions of the figures presented in the painting.

20/20 Vision

Last Thursday, the collaborative project with Marjo took me to Brighton. I fail to remember the last time I stepped foot on a beach but won't be forgetting this experience – as the frost bite sensation felt in my fingers was continually mocked by the glowing sun. Despite the freezing weather we managed to document the area where the West Pier once stretched; trying not to become too occupied by its skeleton remains stood just offshore.

Our icosahedron structure/pinhole camera provided a platform – for the 20-year-old film we were using – to absorb the space from 20 different angles. I'm intrigued to see how the moments on the beach were recorded by a tool from the past – if it will show its history, leave any marks… I would be grateful for it to just simply work at all though!
