long exposure.
documentation of a multi-sited installation project.
i am really interested in how context alters a piece of art and vice versa. i use the same group of objects within my installations, bringing in others found on site. the expectations and connotations brought to the piece are very different depending on the situation eg: a gallery, shop or outdoors. with this ongoing set of work i am interested in how this affects the reading of the piece.
* this installation was designed to be experienced at night outside. to be a kind of ellusive happening or mirage. however, after developing the photographs, i felt that the piece worked better in this second format.
what do people think about this, and the documentation becoming art thing?
