+ Adding another dimension into the space

This video work is a representation of previous video works, which are different positions, the hovering vessel, and the portholes of everyday space.
Three spaces from different surfaces are communicated here. One from everyday space, one from Stowe, and another is the workshop. The first and the second space reveal each other by moving into the portholes (white spaces), then moving out of portholes. The third space reveals these two spaces, and records them on an interactive glass table by drawing the portholes with pen, painting the nature with brush, and masking the moving images with 3d objects.

+ The portholes of everyday plane

These sequences show the play with the dynamics in the interior space. It is the revealing of everyday objects which have been moved to another space. The object moves in the interior when another porthole into Stowe is revealed. The white spaces which have been revealed are the portholes of the interior, and the white lines show the effect of light to the surface. Changes of light conditions on the surface are the reflection of the dynamics of both moving and stable objects.

+ The artificial ruins and the vessel. The drawing shows the revealing of follies, and their relationship according to points of view.

The follies are positioned there for dragging the observer’s eye, and stretches the one’s mental vision with their irregularity, colour and naturalization to the soil. The vessel is there to experience them virtually.

+ Intersecting views/ a collage work

This landscape is the construction from the previous panoramic drawing aiming to create a perspective of what has been known, what has been seen before, and redefining different views simultaneously.

+ A 270° panorama starting from the Gothic Church towards South vista

The photographic films of these images were taken from the same point, but from the different directions, and were treated differently in the dark room. The final image shows the back of the slope, which is on the other side of intersecting lines.
