Untitled

First ideas in journal for presenting video in exhibition. This would involve 5 tv screens, so I am going to adapt the film if I can to be shown on a maximum of two screens.
Unfortunately having many problems with converting video to be able to be edited with iMovie, if I can't solve the problem, I also have paintings but don't feel like they would be as effective.

'And the Bridegroom', 1993

The first time I had seen this portrait, I was struck at the sheer size of the piece, yet it still appeared intimate and thoughtful.

Projection

Outside of Studio

I'm beginning to take my work outside of the studio. The first step that I have decided to take is to photocopy stills from my first film and display them in the area that I live in. I think the pictures are reminiscent of mugshots, especially with the grainy texture of the photocopy. I also think that displaying these images to passers-by makes the subject more vulnerable. I'd like to display a video in the same way.

Stills

In taking stills of the film, I have isolated a part of the confession and allowed the person to be scrutinised further because this is now a frozen image. I think it enforces the fact that the moment can't be undone or changed, so in turn makes up a part of their identity.
