Planning and presentation options- Lightbox

With two potential final works on the go right now it is all about seeing what is going to work and what isn't. When I initially chose this SITE space(painting studio) I had in mind an idea for a large lightbox in a pitch black room. The plan is for 4 x-ray boxes which will each be covered by a segment of the larger Odessa scene. The image will be layered up, the whole work being comprised of 5 or more layers on transparency. The transparency is available in a size large enough to cover each lightbox.


Proposed idea 4 x (500mm by 1470mm) lightboxes with transparency



Random lightbox ideas


The projection into a misted area is still a possibility, though perhaps a bit too big for my prescribed space. So maybe I will have to think outside the box.

The projection with mist is still definitely an option, and i will work through that idea too. Hhaha, well these pics are just renderings made in photoshop of what i hope the lightbox idea will look like, just visions that haven't happened yet!

I think the lightbox idea looks pretty epic Em! there is an amazing presence that is created by lightboxes, especially in a small room like that when they will be the only light source (blacking the windows?)
whos printing the transperancy for you?
i would also really like to see you carry out an experiment with the mist/fog and look at something like McCall's work in that sort of space as well. It could be amazing in a confined space like the painting rooms full of mist/fog and then this amazing image thats is moving and projected through/onto the fog. I can see it in my mind and it looks pretty cool. Do you have any plans to shoot anything else or you going to work with what youve got?>
