DIAGRAMING RELATIONSHIPS: Looking at the relations between the site, my 4 clients, their position in relation to above and below, desires and also things they need protection from.

In Class Photomontage

Looking at the relationship between human and non human, above and below (and species which are able to experience both) and also the concept of food and how it can manipulate or help to build these relationships from a non human perspective.

Photomontages

Photo montages exploring the new site and client conditions. Looking at the entire dock and how these new and existing clients will protect and interact with one another.

.

1. A montage looking at existing gull/human relations from a human perspective, the gulls is always in the background, it’s hopes and dreams may be to connect with humans more deeply, we may never truly know what the gulls want in terms of relationships.

.

2. The gull and human becoming one with each other, developing a strong connection based on protection and trust.

.

3. The gull human relationship from another perspective, looking at how humans may orchestrate or influence gull behaviour on the future as a result of this new found bond.

.

4. The introduction of the seal as a 3rd client through looking at who protects who and how a cycle of protection may be developed.

.

5. Another seal iteration, looking this time at how the seal and gull may exist together. Gulls and seals generally live in harmony as interactions are kept to a minimum by the gulls agility. Thinking about how these two entities can become closer through human intervention.

Testing projection setup/layout

Looking at having task 1a on the projection wall and individual work on the opposite face as an initial idea...

[afiorearc-blog]

Water itself does not exist as a singular body, it is completely intertwined as an assemblage of many parts. With the alteration of a singular entity, a ripple effect occurs and manipulates all other components to varying degrees. In the context of Victoria Dock, water acts as an assemblage within an assemblage but both assemblages share a strong bond and are completely influenced by one another (water agency having a main constant effect on the dock assemblage). When considering the protective cast for the kelp gull, the ideas behind changes to a singular component having a knock on effect highlight interesting possibilities relating to protection of the gull having protective qualities for other biophysical organisms.

Sectional representation of the non human, drawing these views are a lot more friendly if you ask me...

Mother and Child Divided, 1993

by Damien Hirst

“Cut us all in half, we’re all the fucking same.”

‘Mother and Child (Divided)’, a cow and calf bisected and preserved in four tanks of formaldehyde, was first exhibited as part of the ‘Aperto 93’ Venice Biennale exhibition. It is a key early ‘Natural History’ work and subsequently formed the focal piece in the 1995 Turner Prize competition, won by Hirst. 

The cows are removed from nature, both through their unorthodox presence within a gallery setting, and by death. The artist explains, “In a way, you understand more about living people by dealing with dead people. It’s sad but you feel more … my cows cut up in formaldehyde have more personality than any cows walking about in fields.”

The cows, tragic in that they’re amongst “the most slaughtered animals ever”, are used to demonstrate, “an emotional thing which you are dealing with in a very brutal, unemotional way.” The title of the work is simultaneously an acknowledgement of the bisection, and an expression of the violence inherent, “in any sort of relationship, like trying to keep a relationship together when it is falling apart.”
