'THE AQUATIC LAB'
FILM INSTALLATION
|
These images consist of documentation, film stills and photographs from an ongoing project entitled ‘The Aquatic Lab’, recently exhibited as an installation. Consisting of two films, a projection, sound, light boxes and the smell of chlorine, creating an interactive experience for the viewers. ‘The Aquatic Lab’ is derived from my two passions, being a synchronised swimmer, for 15 years, and my love of light. The title and work created came from the way I started to see the swimming pool, as a laboratory and space for experimentation. Every time I entered the water, I wanted to discover something new and my experience underwater changed when using a camera, both bodily and visually. When underwater, I held my breath and followed the light. I searched for light patterns created by natural light and the movement of water and I am in awe of the way it transforms the mundane structure of a swimming pool into an unfamiliar space. The installation transports my documented findings and experience into a new space for viewers to be immersed in. |
