Initial Idea and Research

Research and Development 2 ideas:

Of Nature

Having life out of its natural context:

Set: pristine, white backdrop and floor – blank canvas/contextless/unnatural

Subjects: Tortoise, Snake, Lizard, Fish, pineapple, watermelon, strawberry, raw chicken

Audio: Erhu- Ancient Chinese instrument: provides a very tranquil, passive experience which encapsulates the emotions provoked by the message of the death of nature and the industrialisation of our world. https://youtu.be/6jbfooDPN00

Ideas:

• ·         ink dropped into fish tank (into a separate fish tank either in front of or behind the one with the fish in so it looks like its in the same tank)
• ·        Tortoise crawling towards food (same concept with snake and lizard)
• ·        Snake in a swirl position

Scheduling and authorisation of subjects in studio problems.

• ·        Having the fruit and raw chicken in the tank with the ink being dropped in
• The subjects in the tank represent life and nature, and the ink represents death, decay and artificial treatments of nature. 
• The all white environment, while providing a more aesthetic experience and no distraction from the subjects in focus, also represents artificial treatments and industrialism of nature.
