Our aim of this project is to explore a restricted space through restricted body movement.
In this project, we have created an enclosed space and we explored that particular space by leaving marks on the canvases through restricted body movement. A square was created to restrict body movement further in the restricted space: I could move my arms around the space in which I could reach or alter the positions of my feet but my body stays within the area of the square.
P r o c e s s
Our initial idea was to explore the space on a canvas which was displayed on the ground. Unfortunately, it did not work the way as we expected it to as we were disturbing certain spaces on the canvas.
We then displayed the canvas on the wall instead. This gave us more flexibility to explore the restricted space and we experimented with restricted body movement by limiting the canvas size. Furthermore, our restricted body movement was responded through the melody of music as we left marks on the canvas.
We completed our final project by setting up the canvases into a specific space in order to perform the restricted body movements. We have also decided to create a smaller space in the restricted space to push our theme further and we have documented the process through different perspectives. In addition, we have decided to incorporate the use of music in our project. The melody and rhythm of the song stimulates my flow of body movement, allowing me to explore the space in a different manner.
