In this video, Maia and I purchase two 500-meter rolls of string and tie them together. We then each take a length of string and walk through the forest, leaving a trail behind us. As we traverse the landscape, we immerse ourselves in the beauty of nature while measuring the expansive distance with our string. This journey not only allows us to explore the forest but also serves as a unique way to connect with our surroundings.
TORONTO TRIP
On our trip we encountered many unique exhibits but the ones that stood out to me were, “Alex Da Corte’s Ear Worm” This work draws from themes like sexuality, violence, cinema, children’s literature, and art. His gallery created a surreal environment felt as if I was sent to an alternate dimension created to enhance the piece as a whole. In his work he uses familiar themes like cartoons to express these unique actions like Sylvester the cat having money thrown on him or the Pink Panther ironing himself, these familiar figures are portrayed in very unconventional ways, exploring themes of alienation and human desire. This expression has been something I have considered for years, although this isn’t consistent within every film but the concept of these cartoon characters doing action that are completely different than what they would do on the show for example; tom the cat filling his car with gas or bugs bunny drinking a beer. The story it tells to me is one that explains that all these characters are still subject to human behaviours no one can escape their nature.
FEAT. PROJECT
Our Feat was the act of breaking/abuse but our secondary goal is to tell a story.
Breaking News (LOOP)
We started with newspaper to talk about constantly remaining ignorant in the face of dismay. the action of Me taking the newspaper and tearing it while Maia shows her ignoring my attacks on her showing a sense of actively putting yourself in a bad situation but not avoiding all the signs like a toxic relationship you saw coming
Leftovers (One-Shot)
This part we wanted to use a more valuable thing to break, not valuable in terms of price but in terms of use. Food is a vital thing for survival and messing up food is a direct attack on ones direct self, in terms of a relationship this is someone targeting more personal things in someones life but remaining unmoved by these greater attack
Forgive me? (Sequence)
This part is an act of forgiveness in attempts of trying to get back into her good graces that is recognized by the fact of me giving her back her food and the newspapers she was reading, and her remembering the things I did slowing considering forgiving me just for me to break them all again. All humans have a breaking point and if someone can hurt you ten times then they CAN hurt you one more time
Spotify Wrap
Music has been a pivotal thing in my life, so I decided that I would ask Spotify to give me the 50-60 songs I’ve listened to the most throughout my life and I took 1 second from each of them and put it together.
The Button Family
This is a canvas of the button I made with the buttons of everyone in the class. The button I made were artist albums with the silhouette of the artist in front, I did this to bring more attention to the album instead of to the artist
Conceptual Video: Drunken Love
This video showcases 50 characters I like, along with a brief explanation of who they are, what they do, or what they’ve accomplished. I chose to create this because a person’s interests often reveal a lot about their character. Featuring 50 characters from various games, shows, movies, and comic books, this selection demonstrates a broad spectrum of my personality. Even if the characters are very different from one another, there’s usually a common theme that ties them all together.
