18 Hanging Frames

As a bit of a sidenote to the what I've been trying to do with my transparencies, I decide to work outside of the box. Constrained by the small space in which i was previously trying to create some sort of illusion, moving outside into an open space and letting my frames (from a small sequence from Odessa Steps shoot) hang freely does something quite different. I then project the moving image sequence of Odessa frames onto the hanging pieces, and light cascades all around the darkened room. The frames sway and move around, viewers can also move through them too, watching the shadows and light dance on the walls, and on each other.
I think its partly immersive, partly too random for my liking. Maybe it reminds me of moving through memories? ..It looks pretty, but I am still determined to create something which reminiscent of the illusionary quality of cinema.

I want so badly to be able to create the illusion of three-dimensionality from static images.
Like being inside a giant Viewmaster maybe...

Anyway, here are some documented images of the hanging frames setup.

Scale down the town


Playing a bit here with manipulating scale, distorting space. Julia Fullerton-Batten achieves this effect though she does it through the placement of models in actual model town setups.
