Last First Friday that we had to present work, I continued with the idea of projecting on the water and this time I made a short video.
I was reading a short story of Edgar Alan Poe “The fall of the house of Usher” and I thought in doing something with a scary atmosphere. So the video is like a dream where a woman appears and disappears like a shadow, on the surface of the water. I wanted to play with the objects and their shadows, meaning with what is real and what is not real. What exists in reality and what in our imagination. A ghost story is a good example to play with this.
In the installation, the shadow (projection) could be the shadow of the puppet-woman but it is not. The tree could be the reflection of the real branches. Objects and projections of other similar objects can create an interesting illusion. And the element of the water connects everything as it is reflective and it is something between material and non-material. It is nor a concrete object, neither an abstract one.
I need to think and experiment more on these ideas. This is a beginning that I hope to drive me somewhere...
