What I liked about these works was how , in my opinion, Coffin, through his use of projected videos and audio ,changed the way we see these familiar works of art. He gave them a new life of their own!
I am kind of working slightly backward, because over the weekend I experimented with projection and photography before I had really looked in depth at artists who use this medium. Now that I have started with it,I plan on researching ways I can bring it to a further point....So I guess I'm not doing things totally backwards this week. I had a lot of fun with the projector and my beautiful sisters,who modelled, (patiently.....!) for me for hours. I want to edit through the images this week before I post them , find the ones that work the best..... I was trying to convey the idea of our imprint/trace upon a space, but also the trace of a paticular space/ environment upon us .....
Anyway (before I got sidetracked by my own work...) I was blogging about Peter Coffin's work.
These are some of the stills from Coffin's project at the Tate, Britian in 2009. His projections completely change my interpretation of these artworks.
I also like these works from 2007. Coffin created silhouette sculptures and stood them infront of projected images . Shadows were created upon the projected photos. These are kind of like what I did, except I used people instead of sculptures..but ,maybe this is something I could move onto....
