Capturing Memories - Gabriel Barcia Colombo


I found this video of an artist explaining his idea and process of adaptation on his work. This explanation he haves of the stages of how he organised and thought about the development of his work relates to how i am being expected to work and adapt on my own ideas and was inspire ring to see how he had taken on this process to create an interesting conclusion.

            
In the video it shows how he has videos his friends and family and projected them into jars as small memorials for them. He then decided he wanted to take it a step further and make it more realistic by having them to react when a person come near them (for example scared when the person come near the jar or trying to ask the person to help them escape). This is an interesting way of creating an involvement with the audience and having an interaction with his work. Again this is a brilliant idea to display his work that stems from the idea of having a memorial. Having a living memory of his friends and family is the best representation of them he can have and having them interact is only again more life like.
I think the idea behind his idea is very unique and i could use this as inspiration for my work in projects to come. The colours of the projection are perhaps a bit too cold in my opinion however and take away from the feeling of a warm nice memory and make them feel less precious. However this could be a difficult thing to change when projecting onto glass.
