For this project, I wanted to explore the interplay of lines and movement within space, experimenting with how these elements can transform a static object into a dynamic, immersive experience. By incorporating skis into the installation, I aim to use their unique shapes and surfaces to create an intriguing three-dimensional space for my projections. I believe that using skins as a medium will allow me to emphasize the physicality of the skis while also adding depth and dimension to the projected imagery. The idea of integrating movement stems from the inherently static nature of skis when they are no longer in use or during the off season. By overlaying them with moving optical illusions, I hope to create an engaging and visually stimulating design that draws viewers into the artwork.
To bring this vision to life, I plan to use a variety of different videos, projecting them onto distinct areas of the skis. I have a collection of skis to choose from, so when selecting the five that I will use, I will focus on those with the most solid colors and the most dramatic, visually striking lines. This approach will enable me to align my projection mapping with the natural design of the skis, enhancing the overall cohesion and impact of the piece. I envision working primarily with black-and-white videos, as this will allow the colors and textures of the skis themselves to remain visible, creating a harmonious blend of projection and physical object.
What makes this project especially meaningful to me is the history embedded in the skis. These are not just any skis—they are ones that my family and I have used over the past 30 years. They carry memories and personal significance, which adds an emotional layer to the installation. I want this sense of history and connection to come through in the projections, creating a dialogue between the past and the present, the physical and the digital, and the static and the dynamic. By combining these elements, I hope to create an artwork that is both visually compelling and deeply resonant.
