The Sketches helped me create the relationships between the strings and the photographs as well as to plan the three dimensionality of the exhibition space, it is here where I decided to utilise the space and create something more than a line-up of photographs.
During the preparation process the photographs were printed and mounted on black foamboard. Foamboard was chosen for its lightness and ease of transportation, this reduced the risk of the “columns” collapsing on themselves. As for hanging cord, a polyester thread was chosen because of the bright colours and tensile strength.
The installation took about four hours and was done in cooperation with Professor Joaquin Conde’s students.
The exhibition opened on Thursday 13 at 6 pm, reception was warm, feedback was positive. Overall this exhibition was a success.
