Inspired To Create

Some of the works we have looked at in class have given me ideas for my own creations relating to project brief 2 “From here to there”. Stainless 42 Street by Adam Magyar was shot at high speed from inside a train then slowed down. Tokyo in Reverse by Simon Bouisson depicts a man walking towards a camera while the camera tracks backwards and the rest of the world appears to be running in slow motion and in reverse. These works got me thinking about how isolation and experimentation with movement can highlight specific elements in a vast and busy world. The GIFs by Erdal Inci got me thinking that I could create a piece that combines still photography and video footage and is played on a lop to create a continuous piece. It could be a collection of images of clouds and the sky and its various different shapes, forms, colours and motions. The sky is a place of “inbetween” when something is suspended without a specific location or place of being. Looking at everyones works within the home I noticed that majority of the pieces had something in common and that was their small scale. They captures minute and minuscule objects within the home and zoomed in on different angles, shapes and patterns to create abstract art forms. I would like to experiment with a larger scale as the project expands from the comforts and boundaries of the home to the wider world. I like the idea of capturing images from a hight and displaying a large scope of the surroundings.
