Installation Workshops: Work In Progress

After finalising my video, I began to work with the idea I had of creating a dream-like, memory space. I wanted to create layers within my space to represent broken memories, or demonstrate the experience of Hypnagogia and Dreams. This is where my two-dimensional projection becomes three-dimensional. The layers added a more interactive experience and made the image come to life.
I decided to use some fabric for my final piece as I felt it added the the dream effect I wanted to capture. This made the image float, movable and become visual. The white fabric also added to the look by making the image stand out.
I found that brightening the image on the projector really added to the aesthetic also.
As I still want to bring the outdoors in, I made this look like an outdoor setting by making it look like a washing line, like using pegs. The audio of my video, which you can hear here, helped me greatly in adding that ambiance. 


This was the brief set up I created to get an idea of what I would do. I placed some string across the room and hung some white fabric over it with pegs. A very rough 'washing line'.

I then moved the projector on the floor and decided to make the fabric move, like there was some 'breeze' indoors. This added more movement and added to the outdoor effect.
