'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. |
