+ A draft for pin-up session

The project correlates the ideas of archiving landscapes. This process is based on archiving the landscape in theory in a vessel and then constructing landscape within the landscape through positioning of objects. These recordings will be used to construct a concept under light and shadow. The vessel will be dealing with light and colour as the spaces are more open or closed or smaller or shifting. I am working in Stowe Garden, because in Stowe Landscape Gardens, each structure has a different history, culture, art and different notions of spaces. These landscapes build a spatial composition bringing together all particular moments in time give inspirations to the painters for the picturesque landscapes.
When things are moving, it means I am opening the space. And the shadows or dark surfaces in that are the looking out through these things. In dark spaces there is no information, and I am adding them some other meanings. There are three certain elements of the project; exposures, time, and positioning in actual space. Exposures are drawing the drawings. It is recomposing the landscape, rearticulating. I am collecting new landscapes here by double exposing through the idea of multiplying and layering of something. Time is important in terms of duration of exposure and duration of taking in one thing to another.
Now, I am looking for the relationships between the things that I observed. I am trying to develop some special strategies to define the interior of my vessel with the idea of using objects (photographs) as a feedback system.
Archived landscapes are forming the interior of the vessel, and dark surfaces are composing the surface of the vessel. Reintroducing of other space into another space is what the system is going to do and this is my architecture. Now I am exposing one space on to another space by using double exposure, and I am planning to use photographs as a feedback system, cutting out, bending the photographs, and constituting some composites with them, making some special perspectives by recombining the photographs.
* But, I am planning to do it 3 dimensionally as well. I will do a serious of sketches, and I will use them in the background of my way, which I signed the views of frames, as if it is something moving in this space.
*I will do some video works which shows re-rotating surfaces, landscapes surrounds, repositioning in the landscape in some virtual space. It will help to define the interior of your vessel, and the idea of object (I did a beginning of it in the first term).
*I will develop the video of my corridor space which I have started in the first term. I will add the space some details like a mirror, a picture frame.
*Mirrors as a way of photographic landscape, about the object and subject within the environment.
*What am I introducing into the spaces? What occurs out of that? These things are going to be one journey. Second journey will be effects of the first journey as a trace of it.
*Cross-fertilization? Planting seed from one space to another, because it is the introducing one space into another.
*Materiality?
