Found Abandoned Drawing

My practice focuses on the link between the projections within cinematic environments and gallery projections, looking at it from an objective view point. Surrounding my research as well as the a fore mentioned projections I look behind the scenes of cinema and projection equipment onto the mechanical process and structures they form. If anything the content becomes irrelevant, it becomes a Structuralist view of the medium recording itself. Having said this I've also explored the more artistic/ involved notions of editing the content captured through photographic work or super 8 film recording. Even here the theory of structuralism becomes involved as even though the two processes in which I work are separate, implying separate processes, Structuralism ensures that everything is connected. When applying projections/ installations into the formula the research becomes Post-Structuralist as the pieces of the work are cut apart, separated from the meaning and projected into an unbiased space. Post-Structuralism theory suggests that symbols are cut radically adrift from material reality, as Colin Perry states; "it seems tailor-made for cinema". The processes I've implored within my practice/research reflect the sense of technology, choosing the use defunct recording equipment to create a link between the past and present without straying towards nostalgia. My objective position allows me to immerse myself in the genre/theme without having the pressure of passing judgment upon the objects and themes I apply. All in all my practice/research involves the medium not the content it conveys.
