After my analogue photography workshop with Megan Wellington, I've been thinking more about moving image- we were able to edit a Super 8 film reel and the aesthetic was something that has increasingly interested me. I would relate these ideas with my own work by using home videos of myself, again with the reference of the readymade and the links to memory (more specifically of my childhood, this again creates a cohesion and unity of work).
I have since been thinking about this further, and in terms of the way I am thinking about the overall look of my installation, I don't think a television would quite fit into it. Therefore... dun dun duuun! I've been thinking a lot about sound!
It's not something I have ever considered before, I have never done my own sound piece, and in honesty I've never hugely looked into sound artists or given much heed towards the discipline.
My idea at this stage is to still use the home videos of little me, but rather than have my audience seeing it, they would be hearing it instead. I feel that this relates back to Freud's concept of the uncanny; something that is familiar but also incredibly alien to us. I would use the sound but hidden within the installation- an unknown source.
hearing but not seeing, hearing but not believing? ...Interesting.
