HOLD/HELD SHOOTING PLAN 3
Had a tutorial with Craig. He said that the positions were like on the edge of actions and he’d like to see it recorded as moving images with high-frame rate. I think I actually had thought about it. Moving images show more difficulty of holding. I’m not sure about slow-motion though. Have to see howContinue reading “HOLD/HELD SHOOTING PLAN 3”
The Image of the Ghost
These unexpectedly fleeting relationships are moments of appearance and disappearance, that characterize millennial experience. Green & Owens (2019) The Image of the Ghost (artists’ pages), Performance Research, 24:7, 156-160, DOI: 10.1080/13528165.2019.1717890 Never really related abstract fleeting relationships to physical appearance and disappearance, but it really relates.
SEMINAR
It’s mentioned that my performance was like confronts of bumps/interruptions against physical space, struggle between me and environment, fighting against physical confronts, like my photos inside the cupboard/under the bed.

I started to think again removing the context of the positions just to focus on the state of being stuck by holding on toContinue reading “HOLD/HELD SHOOTING PLAN 2”

SHOOTING TEST
Tried to hold jars myself and found it very hard and I even dropped a jar. So I decided to stick tapes on the sides of the jar to secure. Cut the mirrors to put into the jars. As I only have one speedlite, it took a while to adjust the speedlite to get ridContinue reading “SHOOTING TEST”
SHOOTING PLAN
My recent “relationship” is hurting me but I can’t let it go. It puts me to a position where I’m not in control and I can’t change the situation. It’s like I can’t move physically. I’m holding on to this fragile “relationship” that is still precious to me. I’m constraint by it. It’s hard toContinue reading “SHOOTING PLAN”
