Post 3- Revelations

ive been toying with the animation idea and expanded the idea with some rough video and sound edits using final cut and garageband, video is shot on my digital camera so hardly ideal and the sound is a heavily processed acoustic guitar, it's not hugely polished as you can tell.


but for me the idea of using myself as subject is quite apealing because it would give me the chance to examine the social conection between the artist and the other. By creating both inwardly focused work and outwardly focused work it would give the opertunity to compare the two, especialy to see how honest i would be in a self critical scenario.
also the idea of projecting this kind of video/ animation work onto things such as sculptures or manequins could be very interesting. I think there has to be a distinction between someones physical representation and an expression of the more intangible aspects of their persona so using light in this manner could be quite good, possibly even onto less tangeible objects like water, ice or smoke.

ive found an interesting wee site for photo self portraiture

some of its good some not but interesting nonetheless.
this inwardly focused idea of photography is very well expressed by this fella

robert mapplethorpe, died '89 although could he have just gone underground?
