Due to the exhibition date being held back a week, I will not be able to set up my installation in the Wolstenholme space until next Monday. I have, however, set the installation up at home, to give you a general idea of what I hope to create in the space.

Layout decision making.

To clarify my ideas I have made a few more sketches of how my installation could look.



Just as an alternative I decided to sketch this idea. I wanted to imagine how the installation would work in this layout, where all that can be seen is the illusion of the floating televisions with black material billowing out from behind.

I decided against this idea for two reasons,
1. The installation would be too difficult to build and has the risk of looking ott and tacky.
2. For me, the challenge of this project is to make my piece work in the Woltenholme environment. If I hide the walls and change the atmosphere it would be a bit of a cop out.



This sketch is just to show how I would like the two screens to be facing, and in a way clashing with one another, while the relevant objects will be hanging between.


As my two films represent different life stages of nostalgia, or memories from ones youth, I wanted to find a way of letting people connect with their 'inner child'. I have decided to out the screens on two separate levels. The set on the floor will be playing the film from the child's point of view. In order to connect with the film the viewer will need to get down to child level, and thus connect with the child's point of view before being able to watch.
The higher set will show the nostalgia interview film. It will be at adult eye level.
