Eva Kotakova's installation is interesting to me because it combines historical imagery and forms. I think I can do something similar in project 3 by using classic design conventions.
ReplyDeleteKotakova's choice in how to display the objects did indeed bring about a sense of discomfort through dislocated body segments as she described in the video. It embraced a sense of fear, misunderstanding and the desire to understand. Her play on size/ scale and internal/externality reminded me of the powers of ten we discussed in class regarding project 1. Her work definitely does seem creepy at first glance, but it is nothing to be afraid of (from what I gathered). The way she uses disembodied objects was inspiring, in the way that maybe I could surface this idea by using disembodied plant pieces to create a new narrative with project 3.
