Memories of Paris

My intention for this project was to create an installation consisting of mobile characters and a wall decal background to immerse the viewer in visual nostalgia, that of my sketches and memories of Paris.  The materials used were vinyl, acrylic, fishing line, and foam board mounting.  The ideal setting for the installation is a white wall gallery space, which provides a neutralized background optimizing the transparency of its pieces.  As well, the mounting may be directly into the ceiling, and the piece should be slightly above eye level of the viewer, forcing them to interact with it imaginatively in the action of looking up.

This was a prototype of the ideal scenario for the installation, in which it would have the wall decals perpendicular in corner space, and the mobile characters would hang at different levels and depths.

These are initial sketches articulating the planned layout, in two variations, highlighting the ability to adapt the piece to its space considering the multiplicity of its parts.
