The all seeing eye

Rewind to my birthday 2008.

I went and had really awesome cheesy gnocchi with my dad at the BFI.

At the time there was a video installation by Pierre Bismuth and Michel Gondry.

They projected the film throughout a whole room, moving the images along each wall and slowly taking away objects as the character loses his memory.

A clip from 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' was used to signify ideas surrounding memory loss. Although this is a separate theme to mine I found it visually connected with my project because aspects of home were being subtracted from the room as the video played out.

I have since started looking at how images, like buildings disintegrate over time.

Rather than items disappearing through the process of memory I have looked at how they disappear over the process of repetition.

Each item was copied around 50 times until the image disappeared. I will be making a series called "Losing It" looking at different aspects of the home. I chose the image of a key because they're often copied after being lost and are the only things we own to 'prove' we live somewhere.
