"Nude Descending a staircase" by Marcel Duchamp caused a scandal in 1913 at the Amory show New York. 62 years later, Shigeko Kubota, produced a new media version of the same name using a physical representation of the title. To me this shows how the instillation is useful for projecting the film.
However I am finding it very difficult to decide on what instillation to project onto. For me, the film is the art itself, and it is important that the backgroud is not so busy as to take away from the film itself. I have based the work on the natural and manmade so I would like to encorporate this somehow into the projection. I have thought of books from the library, feathers from birds, trees, windows and mirrors, yet all of these are not a good projection surface. I think feathers and wood would be workable around the surface and intend to discuss this with my other class mates.
