In this session we started looking at people that work with installation
pieces we looked at quite a lot of people some of them being, Bruce Nauman, Stan
douglas, Francis Alys, Tacita Dean and Marina Abramovic just to name a few but
one particular name that holly suggested that I look at was Christian Marclay
and a work of his called The Clock.
This is a fascinating piece where Marclay has put together
hundreds of film clips to make up a clock which goes all the way round exactly
right, and even though I've only seen a small part of it, it’s interesting to
see the transition and method that he’s used to put it together, I also find it
interesting because it makes you think about time and the movement of time.
The reason Holly mentioned this work to me was because of an
idea change that I had, where I still include my original video, purely because
it fits in as well, but I also video a lot of other thing that are effected by
time, which covers everything really but I’m more thinking things like the
tide, cloud and how they move, traffic people walking, car, the steam rising of
a cup of tea, as much stuff as I can think of really, then I’ll put it all together,
I’m not sure how but it’ll be layered, weather I put it all together so you see
it all at the same time or I might spread them out, I’ll have to work that out.
The idea is the look at time and existence, and how
everything is happening at the same time despite the fact that we can’t see it,
but I also hope on some level to put the idea of the One-electron universe,
which is a hypothesis the suggests that there is only one electron in the
universe, that move though space and time in a way which means it can be everywhere
at the same time, meaning that everything is connected, what happened 3000
years ago, happened for this electron at the same time I’m righting this, which
is an amazing and inspiring idea, but putting that in my work will be interesting.
