Title

The Moving Box

Topic

-       The idea of the home being transportable and how people begin to make their home in an unfamiliar setting.

-       Strong emphasis on objects and their representation (collecting, sorting and displaying)

Research

Various artists I have researched in order to develop the concept are:

-       Brain Goggin

-       Brittny Badger

-       Mona Hatoum

“Objects are the measure of man’s ability to restructure his reality according to his needs” - Baudrillard 1968

Relationship to previous works

The first of my works that connects with the current concept was my stop motion animation. This film viewed a personal object coming to life (proposing that the object is more important than just being an object). My response to brief 3 ‘home in a box’ also directly related to the concept. The film showed my bedroom being packed up in real space where it then was unpacked inside a box (model space). This demonstrated the idea that a home can be packed into a box. And finally brief 7 (immersive environments) where I for the first time explored light and colour in an interior space, which I intend to further explore in the final project in terms of projection.
