FINAL VIDEO PIECE

This was the final development of the sculpture, installation and photography work. In order to push the work further into recreating the dream state, a felt film would be the best medium, due to my moving perspective and to introduce sound.

The soundscape used layered, familiar sounds, including a song from childhood and crying, distorted almost beyond recognition. Reverb and paulstretch were essential effects in recreating a vast empty atmosphere, which is often the setting for such dreams.

This was largely created to support the visual image, which used multiple cuts of films in order to create a confused and meandering trail of focus. The lighting and obscured forms worked very successfully to recreate the sensation of the dream and I felt an instant familiarity watching it.

The piece was limited, as with previous experiments, by the very condition it was exploring. It did not aid me in any way to create a mental image. It's success was limited to my intent to explore whether I could recreate sensations and more abstracted memories though this media.
