INSTALLATION UNIT

HOW WOULD I INSTALL

THIS WORK?

Hollis Frampton - Nostagia

As this production gives a is about missing your
childhood and feeling homesick as well as being
in black and white i would display this
production on an old fashioned television.
I would also let the audience use an old
fashioned remote to start the production on an
old VCR and tape so they have to rewind the
production each time they want to play it giving
them the sense that they are going back in time.
There will also be a big comfortable sofa to sit in
so the audience can get a homely feel as well as
feel smaller on the big sofa giving them the feel
of being smaller like they were when they were a
child, as well as background music from old
cartoon shows they where really popular so they
can be easily recognisable.

Andy Warhol- 8hr film of the

Empire state building
I would use a projector to project
this Production on a big black wall.
This is because the recording is
taken at night and the audience
should have a feel of the darkness, as
well as the mass size of the building!
There will be a bench to sit on
almost like one you can find on a
street outside whilst recorded city
noises play in the background to give
the audience the feeling of actually
watching the building at night.

Sam Taylor-Wood
For this I would display the
recording on a 3D television
so it looks like he is really
Beckham is really sleeping
infant of the audience.
I will also have scented
candles placed around the
production to relax the
audience.

Rise and fall

Fiona places two screens in a dark
room which gives off a peaceful
and calming atmosphere, as their
is no sound that accompanies the
two clips it makes the audience
pay more attention to them. As
the two different clips play next to
each other they seem to hold the
attention of the audience as what
would be boring played singularly
they are more interesting placed
together.

Biennale
To screens are placed side by side
once again as different videos
play caption close ups of different
movements, this makes it
interesting as whilst watching we
try make sense of what it means
and if they are connected to each
other in some way leaving the
audience thought provoked.

Acceptance

Bill starts the video off

with a blurred figure
which we then realise is a
woman with water
running off of her. this is
really thought provoking
as it almost seems as if she
is melting.

The encounter
two woman walk towards
the camera in a desert
great each other, kiss then
walk away in the opposite
way they came. As the
video is simple it makes the
audience try make sense of
a video making each
individual try think of a
back story to the encounter
which leaves them thought
provoked.

Spartacus
Chetwynd
is an installation artist who
is known for her work that
celebrates cultural history
and is well known for her
extremist approaches to
these iconic events.

Spartacus Chetwynd
In my opinion, one of her best pieces
she uses 32 flat screens, 8 headphones
and multiple bean bags for Hermitos
Children, the pilot episode. I think
this was such a brilliant idea as it
might be very different but i feel thats
what makes her work more effective as
it stands out and draws the audiences
attention in a new creative way.
Chetwynds installations also mostly
holds a lot of deep underlying
meaning as she tries to use different
techniques to install her work and is
also mostly presented in a narrative
style
