Proposal for “Structures of Everyday Life”
Artwork Title: “Urban Forest”.
I will be working with installation/performance art/ (if I have enough time, I will make video or audio as part of my installation). I will make an installation of weeping tree like hanging leaves; branches are made out of strings and the leaves are papers tied on to the string, papers I found news papers, articles, flyers I find in everyday life. (They will be tied in a way that people tie fortunes on to tree branches in Japanese Shrines) The leaves will be structured in a way, which it can be lit (maybe with the light in the studio or somewhere else) in the centre. (I have to draw this and make some prototypes first)
Audio or Video will be also a found sound or image that I will find during my daily life.
Performance will be to have the audience to walk around the installation with a small whistle for them to blow like an animal in the room. I am considering to change this- thought about looping the live audience conversation and play in the audio, but this does not yet make sense to me to do this.
My idea behind this piece is to create a metaphor of the urban space, the place over floated with information, almost as though the information is the water for the city, city is the information ocean, and that water is veiling and creating the things that lives there. This is how I see the city now.
To extend this piece, I am interested in the story of information, how people in the past have seen this shift of loading information, and the found loneliness in that urban life – I have read some journals of writers from Edo period on their view towards urban life. I would like to investigate a bit more than this, but I am still not sure yet. Now it is too broad, so I will research more carefully from this broad point from different perspective until I feel the “right” topic. However, I have a very strong visual image on what I want to create, so I will start working while searching for why I am making them.
and I am still searching for a way to get live audio from outside to come into the speaker in the class.. David, help!
