Process

The sketches for all three projects are now in progress...



1.Another video project:
this time with the black background - I got rid of the blue color because I couldn't think of much significance to the color blue. I'm still not sure if I would like to keep the color scheme of my presentation monochromatic (Swedish), so this is a test to see if black works....I think it works better than blue for some reason. But at the same time I feel like this looks much less spontaneous than the work I did earlier, it could be because I've done this three times already.

Next step will be trying this out with a patterned background (wallpapers will used for this trial)




2.Bookshelf project:
I just used two shelves that were not used in my room...made by IKEA. I just borrowed some random books from the city library to see whether these not-so-sturdy shelves can hold up some heavy books. Well, not so heavy but at least SOME books.
They did and the tryout turned out to be a completely different result because I kind of like the DIY look of it, almost seeming like a suggestion to an alternative way of using shelves. The color of the pinewood and also the IKEA sticker on the shelf are starting to add to that aesthetic.

I'm not sure, again, whether I will be keeping this aesthetic or making it look more clean. Next week I will be constructing more fitting sized shelves, or two boards on the sides so we will see what happens with those.

During the meeting today with Hans, my tutor, we discussed about the possible use of loose papers instead of books, so when they fall onto the ground all the papers just scatter around. The colored papers, some with photos, some with statements....it becomes another story but I think that would actually be interesting. Maybe I should try that to see how that would work....I will just have to get a lot of paper and stuff...maybe I can try with some free newspapers? I will definitely be stepping into the fleamarket this weekend to check out some cheap books and so on.




3.Wallpaper Project:
I made a quick sketch model of my installation. Imagine the three white surfaces being wallpapers pasted face-down - and the surfaces are three walls that create a corner of a room. I would like to make a settle "hint", a small one, that gives the audience an idea that the space, what seems to be a white room, is filled with patterns that they cannot see, after catching a glimpse of this corner where the wallpapers are cut out and flipped backwards to show three different patterns. When the audience sees that there are three patterns, they can imagine that there could be 6 different patterns in the room - 4 walls, 1 for the ceiling and 1 for the floor. I'm not sure the scale of this part of the installation but I imagine it to be quite small, because I don't want it to be too obvious.

Got a kindly sponsorship from Duro!
