LONG VS. SHORT TIME: Everlasting Fashion


It is true to say that technology has brought us to a deeper connectivity that moves at the speeds of digital connections. Nature, infrastructure, economy, commerce, fashion and art are diverse topics where one can considered and interplay with short time vs. long time, along with highlighting what is temporary or permanent. For our second project we were asked to create singular object 2D or 3D that embodies both Long Time and short Time. I created a shoe made out chewing gum and M&M's depicting how fashion and food can be juxtaposed with each other as a shoe which is an item of fashion never vanishes but may change over the course of time, whereas gum being an item of food is with us for a very short span of time.



TIME MAPS: Soundless

"Time can be defined as a presence of motion which is also caused by the expansion of space." For our first project titled "Time Maps" we were asked to take a minimum of 20 digital photographs of an action depicting time. There was choice to either create an installation map or a 2-D/3-D object. My images depict how time is extremely essentially where creating art is considered so I documented a spray painting on a white piece of drawing sheet. I created a mobile using my digital photographs which were glued on a somewhat different shapes of foam board, also supported by wire and two chopsticks holding them together on the top which also added to sound and an idea of childlike fun activity taking place.
