Assignment 3 Allison

I imagine the images to be an unstable flicker or a fleeting reflection that merges two very different locations and turn it into somewhere new. Speaking of reflections, here are a little more of Hong Kong I want to share with you, these are taken recently by photographing window reflections:)

I want to create ambiguous visions of a new space that is not very obvious to tell which part is in Zurich and which part is in Hong Kong, maybe both or maybe none. Also I’m very interested in exploring the concept of “time”, in the frame of specific spaces.

I think it will be great if my partner and I can track the visual clues, meaning some particular details of the cities that we decide to explore together, and maybe collect lights or sounds from both sides. I would also like to develop a common project if she is interested in photography/video art/sound installation, we can also experiment with visual and audio together.

And lastly, I wrote something recently that has me thinking about how we can (or cannot) deal with the idea of time/memory.

Time is captured in a cage.

It doesn’t stop, but it can’t fly anymore.

It ticks forwards and then backwards, the moment reserves.

It doesn’t go to the future, but it can’t be changed anymore.

It moves faster and then slower, and we see blurs.

Time is captured in a cage, and it is out of focus.
