8' X 8' X 8'
Black Lights, Neon Paper, 1700 Push Pins, Foam Core, Duct Tape,
Sound Pieces, Black Cloth, Black Printer Ink
When we first thought about this installation we knew we wanted to use black lights to change people’s perception of space. We experimented with many things that reacted to black lights and finally settled on the neon paper with words printed on it.
We also wanted to create an environment that alluded to the awkward time in life that are the years between childhood and adulthood. We wanted to use two texts, one which is considered a children’s book and one that is considered an adult themed work to draw attention to this. We ended up choosing “And Tango Makes Three” by Justin Richardson and an excerpt from the “Kama Sutra.” One of us relates to each text.
Another thing that we wanted to know was how people will interact with the words. Will they make their own sentences or will they decided it is best not to touch the words? Will they spend an hour trying to find the right word and which story’s words will be used the most?
