We went to Lincoln Uni to see the exhibitions of the graduate work. Unfortunately, the fashion and architecture work was still being marked so we couldn't see that, and I was looking forward to seeing the fashion stuff, but oh well. We still got to see the fine art, graphics and other work on display, which was pretty cool! I especially liked this video installation, which I feel is very similar to the final piece I am trying to achieve, however less literal. It was a small, square room within the display space, and was only a maximum of 7 foot high, so inside it felt quite claustrophobic. There was no light inside the room apart from the light from the tv screen and the cracks around the door. The door was short and I had to duck to get through, like a child's playhouse size. Inside there was writing all over the walls, ceiling and floor, and inside of the door. It was just scribbles of words and phrases in sharpie, some bits darker and more pronounced than others. The words were all negative, or questioning life, along those lines anyway.
Also the video on the tv screen was a person (it seemed to be a woman) writing words on her body, predominantly her legs, in dry wipe marker and then rubbing them off, but smearing the word more than completely wiping it away.
