Projecting Light and Mark Making (Contains Flashing Images)

'Projecting Light and Mark Making'

Using what I have learned about Gifs, whilst taking part in a workshop about making marks using light, I have been able to create Gifs using light, shadows and reflections.

The workshop I found very amusing, we were tasked to bring in objects and place them in a fashion to create interesting marks in the air and on different surfaces. However, the human instinct always seemed to take over, people would sit and try and place the objects in such a fashion to create the perfect reflection. Then they would take a picture of this so called perfect layout. I found myself more interested in the process in between. The fact the process of creating perfection started to get in the way of the task at hand.

I simply locked onto the section where people couldn’t quite get the objects right and took multiple images as quickly as I could. Bringing these back and then re animating them as an Animated Gif.
