Drama 16 Stage Lighting

Picture taken by me

I took this picture inside of a pop-up art exhibit at the ICA pre-pandemic. It was a small enclosed room with a bunch of big polka dot tubes. Additionally, the exhibit was also covered in mirrors, so you could never tell where the real tubes were and which ones were just a reflection. The whole exhibit was very trippy, and the assortment of different color lights and mirrors made it very bizarre and disorienting.

3/6 8:15pm, Outside Emily Lowe

Objective:

the bright light sconce outside the front door reflect the puddles on the steps and the falling rain outside.

Subjective:

the nightly fall of light breaks away from its shadows as the white light shines off the flooded concrete and falling droplets glimmer like speckles of falling stars from the sky that could never be shown against the dark clouds above. The air is crisp with the chill of soft pattering rain. The sight that would cause the normal passerby to sigh with frustration at the damp annoyance, made me smile with each cool drip against my jacket. Like my worries were washed away into the puddles below, left behind as I splashed them with my boots.

I enjoyed the use of contrasting colors with the bright-lit background against the darkly lit subject. I think the bizarre nature comes from the red projection effect causing the tone to be more eerie and curious.

Bizzare

I took this photo at an art exhibit in NYC in 2021. It was bizarre to me because of the way the projections created an immersive experience for the art being displayed. There were a lot of illusions that made the viewer forget that they were inside of a box-like room with projectors.
