For my project I want to experiment with mirror and light projection. I actually thought of this idea the day after we had our first class and I am really set on it. My idea to create this is by using mirrors, lights, glass, and some sort of light blockage material (Cardboard, thick paper, etc). The image that I would like to create would be a beautiful, but at the same time powerful dragon. I am think of possibly adding flames to it and making a background environment may be really cool as well. It may prove to be very difficult to do but, I am very driving to make this piece happen. The pictures below represent my idea in a slightly different way. I couldn’t find anything that is exactly like it so I did my best trying to choose these images.
I was also inspired by Diet Wiegman. I may also decide to do a rotating light piece which is a little different from his shadows, but has the same concept. To do this I thought of many different ways. The first was making cutouts into the material and having them rotate.
The second was making a combined piece so when it rotates it transforms.
So those are my ideas. I am pretty much 100% confident that I want to do light/mirror projection, but I would really appreciate any/all feedback. Thank you!
