Experience of a Design

I chose to work in the gallery space at 66 5th avenue, Sheila C. Johnson Design Center. I documented the experience by capturing the individual entering the space and observing their surroundings. The grids are spaced out in a sequential format to let the viewer enter the space through the images. This relates to the design process because it incorporates movement through time. I wanted to concentrate on the journey the individual took to get from one place to another. The individual is not exposed to the viewer nor the particular space until the last frame, which is meant to be confrontational.

I used my friend Jourdan Savage to experience a design and space of the gallery at Parsons. I wanted to capture his movement while he was entering the gallery and eventually exposing his own image juxtaposed with the art work in the space. I documented the experience from his back viewpoint to add a mystery as to who the viewer might be and their purpose of entering the space. I placed the frames half of an inch apart for the viewer to fill in the spaces according to their own views and ideologies of the action.
