Space and light an inverse relationship

Deconstructing the photograph from the Diane Arbus exhibition. I continued with the idea of weaving and film. I built a frame and used film (which was not developed) because it had an interesting structural property. The idea was that one could enter a space andadjust the light by pulling on the strips. A weird thing happened thing happened the more light the smaller the space became. This proved to be a slight diversion in the perception/grayscale thing and a reassesment was needed.

Perceptions

Following on from the principal of gradients and photographic zone theory along with my aspirations for MI5, I visited the Diane Arbus exhibition at the V&A. I played again with perceptions to see what I would see.

Testing the idea of gradients

James Turrell (without the use of colour) is the inspiration but clearly the result is not the same. I tried to see if the gradients of the panels would help to alter the perception. This experiment was not a successful but many variables within the experiment were not tightly controlled and the result was sloppy.
