Artist Statement

For me an artwork should open a new perspective to viewer and left them smiling by the end of the day. Viewer should be able to see things in a different light either by experiencing or interacting with the artwork.In the old days, brushes and canvas are the tools for artists to express themselves, but today the internet is the platform and the tools are the computers. My work is fragments of new media combining audio visual experience and sculpture.

Tackling the issues of identity in an urban area, I use the metaphor for cave as a home for us. Cave is where we once seek shelter and comfort. From there it expand into the lifestyle that we know today. Instead of using the typical representation of cave, I use geometric shape. These shapes are edgy and portray the identity of an urban cave. Images projected onto these surface remind us of the lifestyle we have and how we connect on certain level through these urban identities.

Research & Experiment II

Floorplan

This is a floorplan for the installation. It works best at a corner,providing height to the piece. The height is roughly above 6 feet mark and the width should be 7-8 feet. The projector will be hung from the ceiling pointing towards the 'cave' to avoid any shadow casting.

Technical Diagram

This is a technical diagram for the installation. The placement of projector is crucial to avoid shadow casting onto the cave. If the projector is placed too low, it will cast shadow as user walk around the area. The diagram is shown below.







The best placement for the projector is high up, almost vertical. This way the amount of shadow being cast is low.

Clemens Behr

Jaw-dropping installations made from cardboard and tape, colorful and geometric paintings on discarded wood or subway car interiors, highly-patterned murals on the streets – Clemens Behr creates a little bit of everything. Or, rather, the Berlin-based artist makes A LOT of everything.

His constructions draw from their surroundings, emerging from alleyways and clinging to crumbling walls in a way that makes them seem almost organic and certainly ephemeral. The use of raw and mundane materials like tape and wood scraps add to this sense. With such materials, it seems to me that Behr sets out to first deconstruct the surroundings, then put the pieces back together in a manner pleasing to him. Ultimately, his works capture attention, plain and simple
