slack film. I've been talking to Aaron, I always like the way he puts things. He asked me what slack rope's about, what it's essence is, that kind of thing. I told him it's about 'breath' but it's also about intense focus and minute balance. It's also about thinking from the sternum. Breath we thought... how do we represent that visually? I could attach sensors to my ribcage, they could link to a projector which could show colours, expansion and contraction, different air/lungs images, other images which represent focus or balance? Or I could use the footage i've taken, and indeed, take footage with the camera strapped to my sternum. Each breath could change the footage. Or use the different intensities of breath somehow - short rapid breaths being a different colour or just that the quicker I breath the faster the images will change. It could be projected on to me (think me in white with the slack rope infront of a white sheet... Hmm. While i'm into exploring this idea it's deffinitely going more into a gallery space, not street. How can i make this 'popular entertainment' at the same time?
places to film, that bridge near the docks - at night. the railway bridge, easton. In the fountains (any fountains). Leigh Woods. I've already done castle park, montpelier park, the island, feeder road.
I need to keep this as simple as possible but I don't even know how to do that.
