Sheilding from the Light


Shrinking away and trying to protect myself from the light implies that it is projecting something harmful onto me. This is particularly interesting juxtaposed when an aesthetically beautiful image is used.


Shielding from the light of the projection seems a strange action: I put myself in this harsh spotlight, but am trying to shield myself from it at the same time. There is a certain element of uncertainty and ambiguity about what is being shown. The indecision I feel myself towards the media influences are transferred to the viewer in an almost push and pull relationship.


From my viewpoint, as I shield myself from the projection am almost aura is created around my hands. This strange and somehow energetic light creates a completely different effect compared to when the projection is shown to surround and almost take over my body.
