Documented Forms

An individual work or series of works documenting time-based events, happenings, performances and site-specific installations (Visual Arts Stage 6 Syllabus).

In 2019, students submitting a Body of Work in this expressive form revealed multi-modes of documentation within submissions, through photography, time-based forms, books and found objects. The inclusion of sculptural forms including freestanding, frontal and relief works, assemblages, hanging works and installations, enabled references to social and political issues/culture/the ‘self’ and the environment. The documentation of performance and references to the ephemeral led to an engagement with contemporary practice and emerging technologies to document concepts.

My Digitality

Documented Forms

As we dive further into our technologically saturated world, the need to be constantly interconnected and perpetually engaged in a digital reality can overwhelm the individual. My body of work explores the sense of technological anxiety, constructing a narrative around our inability to escape total interconnection with our ‘digitality’. Through the use of hybrid form triptych stop-motion animation, the individual's conflict with our compulsion for media represents the larger social turmoil. Using elements of the Brechtian verfremdungseffekt [distancing effect] and visceral imagery, my intention is to activate awareness of our uncontrollable engagement, as we become consumed by our own innovation.
