Exploring how I can translate other's memories into external pieces using projection, colour and scale.
Also considering the sensory experience for the audience, exploring how colour effects what we see psychologically - expresses certain emotions, reactions etc. Inparticular, coloured light.
Artist I have looked at, such as Pipilotti Rist, use coloured light to create atmospheres but also the imagery/film the artist creates reaches the audience on a sensory level because of the up-close angles that can repulse and fascinate. I have been working on how I can create imagery that gives the impression of sensory effects such as something that looks disgusting, or as if you can touch it because of the vividity of what is being portrayed.
Anyway, here are some images I have been working on. I collected them based on information I was given by asking people (of a certain age - only one controll group at the moment!!) about the most sensory/important memory that came to mind in an instant. I want to work with sound and record the "interviews" I have with the participants, exploring different age groups and their recall of memory/sensory perceptions etc. This theme is along side the ideal of the human mind and how the human body and mind are separate things but combined physically.
'...philosphers have looked upon their body as a prison of the mind or soul...' (p2, The Human Condition; by Arendt).
THE MIND, MEMORY AND COLOUR.
Everyone sees colour in their mind differently, I am fasinated by the ideal.
