The movement:Drawings
During the journey’s trajectory, the photos also capture the movement of light and shadow within a particular environment. For instance, in Part three, 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-5, observe the detail of the interaction between light and shadow. The photos fix the movement to one period of time and the drawings reveal the dynamic interaction in the environment. The drawings represent the image of light and shadow that shift and skim on the surface.
This personal blog is to guide and upload the research, and further to clarify concepts used in this project. This research focus on the interaction between light and shadow, It presents how the observer communicates with environment is by the experience of the journey.
This project is about a peculiar journey in which the crucial aim is not necessarily to arrive the final destination but to record and describe the experiences of journey by the observer. In other words, the most relevant aspect of this journey is the information being “experienced” by observer before reaching the arrival per se, in Stone Circle, a historical site located in Oxfordshire(UK).
The main interest of this work is the interaction between people and environment, and how people perceive the world where they live. People can smell, see, touch, and listen, when they live in certain environment. The interesting issues are: what other forms of interaction with the environment would remain? What kind of conversation would exist between observers and objects?
The journey made by images focuses on the shadow of objects and the image of a place that is used, touched, walked, and seen. The series of photographs are arranged according to time-and-space intervals. The photographs are the trace, the footprints, and a specific interpretation of parts of the journey.
