Development post – pre-existing projects
Walking in Barcelona is a project made by Plácido Muñoz Morán in 2015. The idea of this project is how does the public space of Barcelona change by the visual material through interactions, collaborations, and incursions. Multiple small-scale videos were on this project, some of the videos are about one piece of art. For example, from many people’s perspectives and different shapes film the action: painting a hot air balloon on a public building’s wall. However, each video is individual, and it works individually. I can see this project is modular, same as our project. We want to film multiple videos and see how do actions and movement help people interact with space. I think our project will move the same way as Morán did. The project shelf always shaped by a combination of expectation, uncertainty, and adventure. Although each little video is working separately, each of these pieces of media can be viewed in relation to multiple other pieces of media, this project represents the art pieces in Barcelona public spaces. In relates, our project idea is about people’s actions and movement in one landscape and there are also many close shots that audiences can click on in order to move to the next landscape.
The other project named “Untitled” which made by Samuel Schalch in 2005. As we can see the project name is very interactive. From my perceptive, it’s about a man working in the street. And it is continuous which really surprise me. Because I need to choose which road or building or step I want to see the man walk through. This project helps me to realize as an audience I play a role in his project rather than he put me in the center of the project. So it allows me to follow the direction of the work. I think our project will so let the audience to think and let them have time to get into our project.
Our plan is to do four main opening landscapes and each of them has six close shots. For instance, if audience see the first opening landscape and he can choose which close shots he wants to see, but I think there should be only one close shot that connects to the next opening landscape. We still make the structure of our project, but the audiences will find their own perspective to see the whole project and interact the relationship between each small-scale videos.
