Studio Brief 2 - The Corridor of Time - Pendulums

Collage Pendulums

The Corridor of Time held 16 swinging pendulums which took visitors on a journey through man's industrial development and looked at the materials that have shaped how we live today.

To explore the subject both card and tracing paper pendulum shapes have been used to create a sense of  the corridor.  Some designs explore the swinging movement of an individual pendulum which is shown by overlapping shapes, creating a sense of time lapse. Using the tracing paper allows the lines to show through from the other shapes which emphasises this idea well. 

The pendulums were in rows of four so I have explored how they were positioned within the corridor through layering the shapes. Doing this has created the effect that you are walking underneath the pendulums. 

Perspective has been explored by creating images that look higher than the pendulums and at eye level with the pendulums, which then gradually get smaller as they get further away from you.

Mirrors were found at each end of the corridor creating the effect of infinity. The designs created using the tracing paper and perspective create a sense of this by the repetition of elements.
