Pitch:
For my final task 4 assignment, I aim to create a layered piece of work that opens up the channels of what comprises a city and the country.
I have an unusual set-up in that I will be overseas working throughout the final duration of this studio and my locations are somewhat limited to urban environments and time to collect media is also quite limited.
However, I would like to use these constraints to work for me somehow, in that I would like to use what limited media I am able to collect and find the narratives embedded within those collections.
Not interested in restricting myself too much, or wanting to over-analyse the footage I’ll be collecting, I’m interested in finding motifs in my environments, both urban and suburban.
Audio will play a large role in my sensing of the space, to take myself out of my comfort zone and test myself on noticing and seeing through hearing.
I’d like sounds to guide me through a space and would like to fuse both the visual and audio together for a final piece. While not wanting to write anything in stone just yet, I am seeing a larger picture coming to form in my mind of the layered themes I’d like to create.
I think overlapping of both the environments in my research will work well together, hopefully forming a narrative of sorts once paired.
I’m interested to see where this leads.
