Drama 16 Stage Lighting

Location: Unispan, Thursday, March 3rd. Sometime soon after 11pm

Objective Description: The florescent ceiling lights are on – the Unispan is well lit. The lights reflect in the walls.

Subjective Description: There is a precise sort of uniform nature in the line of florescent lights ahead of me. It is cold, and unfeeling. The reflections of the lights on the walls suggest a similar coldness – perhaps because I have come to affiliate the tendency of a surface to reflect light with coldness – glass is cold, shiny metal is cold, that polished and possibly fake marble that one sometimes finds in hotel lobbies or somesuch is cold. Though well lit, the uniform nature and the sense of coldness, coupled with the lack of activity on the Unispan, created a distinct sense of forced isolation.

Where: philadelphia, pa

When: Sun, Feb 27th

Objective: Looking down the center of a long stairwell, and the lower levels of the staircase were not well lit

Subjective: This was a very daunting feeling as it looked as if I would be traveling into a black hole, or at least into the unknown. Looking back up however, it had the opposite effect.
