Untitled, Installation Project
I propose to build an installation that plays with the notion of tools by anthropomorphizing them based on their positioning in a photo. I would incorporate mirrors, or the concept of faking mirrors by mirroring the objects I've placed in the room and building large frames for the mirror objects. I am experimenting with using a peep-hole or a type of optic device to modify the viewers perception of the room and what they are seeing.. if it is "real" or illusion.
Notes & Sketches
Starting with a simple photo of a mirror, chair or ladder in a room.
Break the photo into 36 panels (A3 size). Then distribute the panels individually to be copied by hand using the crowdsourcing resource of the Mechanical Turk. Eventually each of the 36 panels are re-assembled to piece together the image again.
