Alice and I sat down and thought about how we would want our work to be exhibited. At first we thought about using the box in the middle of the quad space, as it would be a really immersive way of encouraging people to go into the space and become apart of what they are seeing. We planned to dress the box in all red, linking with the colour theme of our work.
However, this space was not available as someone else was exhibiting a different piece from another course in there, so we had to go back and rethink how we would make our work fit in the corridor.
We found a good corner space at the beginning of the corridor that also had a platform. Our idea was to turn the space into a 'bedroom', as if you are being immersed into a females bedroom, as we thought this would work well with the nature of our twin screen.
We did some brainstorming around what we would place in the space in order to make it an installation:
- red sheets
- cushions
- make up
- nail varnish
- tissues (wipe away red lipstick)
- tampons
- false nails
- mirror
- hair clips
- underwear
- pill packets
- items of clothing
- condoms / sexual health products
As we chose to place external items in the space, we would have to take relevant measures to make sure these would be safe, and nobody would be able to take them away. Therefore we stapled all the items down so they wouldn't fall off and cause a hazard but also so they couldn't be removed.
Overall we are really happy with the presentation of our work and managed to make it fit in the corridor space. I really loved being in control of exhibiting our own work and is something I would love to do again in the future.
