Another testing of the passageway videos
This is another trial for the continuing passageways through the surface of the walls. Here I am experimenting with how grainy the film is. Im still undecided if i want it to be a clear in focus shot, or to be grainy and smudged to be almost non objective so that the viewer comes to it in a more subjective way.
i want to project passage ways onto the walls of the entrance of the CCP to change their surfaces into something more continuing. and to also change how someone moves within the space. this video however has to be reshot, because i feel for the work to actually become immersive it have to be shot closer to the ground so that when it is projected back onto the wall the projection can join to the floor.
CCP
I want to use the entrance space within the CCP. I want to focus on the idea of continuance through space. The issues an ideas that I am exploring within the project are of continuance in relations to surfaces and their contexts. In James Gibson’s The Ecological approach to visual perception, Gibson states that “ The surface of an object has a definite textures, reflectance, colour and layout. The surface layout being its shape. These are some distinguishing features of an object in relation to other objects.” (Pg. 39). I am exploring when a surface continues, becomes interuppted or changes into a new surface. I am particularly intereted in the idea of one context of a surface expanding itself further and further with or without interuptions. I propose to use the window entrance for my work.
The technologies I want to look into has to do with incorperating the front window and changing it into something else to show contiuniance. I am thinking of using a large window sticker or a projection. Within the image being projected I am thinking out making it of either the outside continuing inside or the other way around. I also chose the door because it speaks of an almost inbetween space. I want to project videos of people walking through doors and passage ways onto the walls on the side of this passageway.
Bruce Nauman
live corridor
I find an interesting version on continuance of surface within Bruce Naumans corridor works. It is live taped with a delay so people continue to be in the space, after they have left.
In careful usage, continual refers to repeated actions “continual objections”, while continuous refers to uninterrupted actions or objects “continuous flow”, “played music continuously from dusk to dawn”.[1]- http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/continual
These objects refer to the concept of a continual surface.
They are explorations of whether something is changing into a new surface, being interrupted or just discontinuing.
Anthony McCall is an artist that I am increasingly becoming more interested in. I find his work very moving. He deals with the sculptural formations within nature. Mostly dealing with the forms of light. I find him a very interesting resource to help me build my concepts of the continuing surface. because his work blends back into the area where he is displaying it almost instantly.

“To localize an object means simply to represent the movements that would be necessary to reach it.” - Henri Poincaré
turkish painter does not need eyes to perceive the world around him visually.
He was born without eyes but some his paintings have perspective. It begins to change our idea on how we actually view the world. That if we only had sight and no touch we could only see flat images. but because we have touch we form perspective.
Assignment 6 B
I’m interested in the impact of the everyday on my work, and documenting those strange sublime moments that make you stop and look and reevaluate what is actually going on and what your doing. I am also interested in the idea of what documentation is now, is it anthropologic or something more? Because life is moving so fast it is impossible to place one event one a timeline because time is fragmented.
To question what people are doing. Why people stop and look at some things and not others. I find myself becoming more interested in an idea of the continuing surface. And what defines one surface to another. I think it is an interesting idea within interior design. Can there be separate objects that continue into each other on the same surface? I am interested in exploring these ideas and finding an own definition for myself.
The technology that I have started to experiment with deals mostly within the realm of photography and documentation. In direct relation to defining similar elements in everyday surfaces and moments. I like to use the techniques of romanticism to explain my ideas through photography by manipulating them after the initial image has been taken to further show the direct message that I am trying to convey.
I have started to explore the ideas and concepts of the rhizome effect through my work, the evolution of surfaces tangibly and intangibly into different surfaces and new meanings, whilst still maintaining a sedimentary level of its old history upon which the new meanings and history is built upon continues to intrigue and pull my curiosity. Although on a contradictory train of thought I have also started to explore the concept where something old must be broken or removed to create something new. In the context of surfaces however it begins to speak of if something is taken away from that surface is it still the same surface with just an intermission or does it create a new one.
Assignment 6 A Thomas Struth
Thomas Struth is a German born photographer who lives and works in Berlin and New York. He has a very broad range of works. From jungles to cityscapes. He says that his broad range of work has nothing to do with him reinventing himself but more about his idea evolving through out everyday life, and the problems that occur within it. I enjoy his museum photographs the most. The Museum photographs are of people in front of famous art works, ask the question of what people are doing there?
Museums provide a protected place where people can reflect on history. And on the perspectives of history provided by other people. Struth wants to also remind people that when the work was first made it did not have the same context as now because it has become fetishized, that it “dies”.
Technology fascinates him because he has a feeling that we are heading for a point where we say technology is wonderful and helps us but we shouldn’t forget social efforts among ourselves. His newest works on extremely complex electrical systems in contrast to extremely dense forests. It speaks to me of how we cannot forget ourselves, and that we never really stray from the forms of nature, no matter how complicated these systems might be. Also that these photos of highly dense electrical interiors start to speak of the restless modern brain. That we have become self-focused and that we are endlessly repeating our desires because we can in an instant with technology.
I think all of his works speak of the human condition. That we are natural beings and that our actions will always and forever natural occurrences. I am interested in his take of how we view the world and the history that has been before us. That us now, will soon become history to be looked back upon through out time. The rhizome effect becomes interesting in his work. That history is not linear, that it can be looked upon in through many different perspectives. That the world we live in and how we view it is fragmented. That events are always moving through and in between our conception of time.
His works also interest me because they always speak of something that cant be photographed. Something looming behind an object or just out of the frame. I think it is because these images are highly complex the mind can drift into this “other” space, a almost place for contemplation space about the human condition today. I’m not sure if this space is calmness or so stimulating that the viewer goes into deep contemplation.
Thomas Struth and objective photographer…
Looks into how his different subjects connect together, what is his overunning theme?
I cant get this link to work but it is a very interesting video here is the link.
FACTUM JACOB
by candice Breitz
Interviews with twins. She has interviewed them in a way to explore how their different experiences shape who they are. The differences are sometimes very subtle but its is an exploration into memory and differences.
“Breitz’s edits accentuate the push-and-pull relationship between the siblings. As the twins relate their stories, sharp distinctions in their voices, their attitudes, their body language, and their views on the world become apparent. At times they gravitate towards each other, offering almost the same syntax and gestures to describe memory, while at other moments they differ vastly in their conclusions on topics they both consider vital. “- http://vimeo.com/26870956
