reflections of cities in cities
I have a new project idea for my off-campus study program. A couple of weeks ago I decided that I would create a series of videos featuring a bouncy ball that I bought at MoMA. Here in London I tried to take some footage of the bouncy ball, but this proved difficult because the bouncy ball kept bouncing away.
I still plan to use video in my project, but I am not using a bouncy ball any more. Instead I am making a series of short films with shots that solely consist of reflections. There are lots of shiny things in cities, so I won’t have any problem finding reflective objects. Here is an example of a video I made in New York using the reflections on the skyscrapers.
The point (as if there has to be one): looking at things without looking at them and then seeing what you see.
There is a second city that lives in reflections, and I want to capture this city on video.
