| Work of art I would like to make My proposed project for the Big 4 is a black and white photographic installation that derives its visual language and style from the goals stated in Channel 4 public service remit, and explores the themes of light and transformation. Education, creativity, innovation and experiment are all metaphorically linked by light. It is by constantly throwing new light at things that Channel 4 is able to offer its audiences much more than passive consumption of entertainment; able to engage with the viewers’ imagination, beliefs, and Weltanschauung. Channel 4 programming seeks to illuminate issues from fresh bold angles, provide a platform for contrasting opinions, and challenge our vision of the world. Photography, as a light-recording medium, is ideally suited to develop this metaphor. If given this chance, I intend to panel the Big 4 sculpture with gritty black and white images shot, as most of my work, on film, and relying on such devices as exaggerated contrast, harsh shadows, reflection, flipped perspective, etc. (Quite fittingly, the Channel 4 logo itself is essentially a fragmented shadow.) These visual techniques, along with the deliberate decision to leave out color, offer a different logic of perception, make things transform, shed their familiar appearances, and thus help us renew our appreciation of them even in their most quotidian manifestations; that is, reconnect mentally and aesthetically with the world. To put an additional emphasis on diversity, I plan to integrate images of objects, places and people with more abstract light patterns. Should site specifications allow the use of projectors, parts of the sculpture may be used as screen surfaces for slide shows to inject a little dynamism into an otherwise static installation. |
