i like the display of this piece, everything looks meticulously laid out and labelled. these ordinary things have almost been made into artifacts, giving it an emphasis of value. because of the scale it becomes quite an intimate piece, it involves the viewer really looking closely, analysing each object/document. this is something that i would like to bring into my work. during the crit. were i had the camera laid out on a plinth everyone crouched down to get a closer look, so i think it has that same intimate feeling due to the size of the parts.
with all your labeled parts places on the desk it almost appears as if some one has just left to go make a quick cup of tea. maybe it relates well to presence as well as memory. are you going to have a chair at the desk? ... i think you should!
ReplyDeleteyes maybe it does! thats an interesting take and the idea of presense links well with the idea of the camera and its present at the time of the memories occuring! thank you herin!
