Art Happened When Scale Shifting
DESIGN THROUGH MAKING
INSTALLATION DESIGN Instructor: Colgate Searle Group Work with Ziqing Chen&Brianna cato It is independent temporary work in the site analysis of Tillinghast Farm. We used wood sticks and plastic fabric mesh to build series screens in perspective directional arrangement like a parallax on the sandy area between the beach and marshland. It can frame the whole sequence of thersholds from beach to marsh land to the woods. However before we can see these diversity colorful layers through the frame, we usually hardly notice this sublime as we moving from the uplands all the way down to the sea as final destination. Since we seldom turned around and look back intentionally, the installation can work as a reminder: leading people from upland to discover it, go through it, experience it in different distance, different scale, and send people a surpurise at the moment you turning back found the parallax and transitions in it. We also wanted to creat a kind of film experience that inviting you to build the plots the clemax by yourself.
