Expressionism
Expressionism, as a style, takes a different approach to inspiring feelings in an audience. Rather than searching for sympathy using a more realistic depiction of life, he style focuses on guttural feelings that make the audience uncomfortable, but they can't hep but feel. It highlights the use of shadows, obscure sets and props usually the 'wrong' size and shape, and nondescript characters who often represent people or circumstances as a whole.
This expressionist installation was inspired by the shadow-work often associated with the expressionism style. I used a projector and screen to create the shadows, as inspired by Pilobolus which always is a large inspiration in my work. When seeing what is placed in front of the projector, you would expect a different image to show on the screen, however just like in expressionism it shows up as a much larger size and a less rescript shape.
