risk assessment for exhibition canvas making development of language 10/04/2021 today i had the idea to change the narrative of the video and create an intro part which makes it half film-half video art. i'm not sure how that is going to work but i feel compelled to use the in-between states just as much as i feel about my own identity - not quite here, neither there. 23/11/2020 the idea for the narrative came about in a trip i took to oxford. while in the bus, i had a strong urge to write. words just kept flowing into my head and i was able to construct a short narrative/creative essay. the narrative has a pendulum effect - it goes from one subject to another. at one point you have me, speaking in 1st person and then it shifts into culture speaking as the 1st person. there's an interchangeable dialogue between the two subjects - referring to the dialogues that are interchanged among different cultures converging. there's an attempt to make one understand the other for ease getting-along. since then, i have added more. i have not recorded the second half of it yet (where it starts: "this is not appropriation"), although it fits in with the theme and could easily be a continuation of it. i feel it could lead to a different work - separate from this film. what doesn't work in it?
other experiments making a skirt for the film. i plan to dance with it in a cultural style. inspired by the traditional chita fabric pattern from brasil. decided to have a go at using the cannon c100 camera. want to shoot high quality scenes with it. collaboration of sound after editing and adding rhythm to my work, i decided that i could actually source rhythm from working in collaboration with other artist friends. jacob carter (pictured above), accepted the invitation and soon started working for a sound piece for the video. without shaker. with shaker. final audio with video towards the finalised work what is working?
what's not working?
to do:
splitting the film
had the idea to split the film into different screens and display it as an installation. all the different screens show a piece of self - a display of memories that forms a person. third edit don't like that i come up twice in this version and the scene of the dancers is too long. what works.
second edit i found this footage which shows a white man being baptised by an indigenous tribe in brasil. i really feel i should continue to make work about my identity and my experiences with displacing. "tupi or not tupi" is a line from manifesto antropófago by oswald de andrade, whose work served as an inspiration for mine. first edit not sure where i'm going with this but, i've put together some interesting found footage that might turn out to be something in the future. further developments filming at licky hills. scene inspired by the ketchup face painting from the first film. ketchup symbolises 'readiness to be eaten' by another being/thing. also, it's a criticism to the act of adding ketchup to foreign food, in order to transform it into one's own taste by masking the originality of the dish. experiments with projection. i've always wanted to project colour onto surfaces and as i was experimenting with that, i noticed my shadow on the wall and decided to play with it. experiments with colour mixing through print. an inspiration from the projection experiments.
