Soliloquy

Project details

Programme
Tutors Paul Bavister and Emma-Kate Matthews

Solitude has been represented in art in many different ways. From Caspar Fredrich's wanderer to Hopper's Night Hawks, introspection has fascinated artists for centuries.

Soliloquy is a new installation that builds on representations of solitude, using mixed media and film. The work externalises an internal monologue, allowing a spatial and temporal response to ideas of isolation and solitude.

Sited between two opposing screens, the occupant is aware of sounds moving in space, generating a mirror to the real and the imagined. The observer is conscious of being in the expanded field of the work, immersed in the moment, standing on their own stage, witness to their own play.

Computer modelling and rendering express the scenes in a cinematic narrative language, panning the camera to create a spectator's perspective, and surround three-dimensional sound to bring about an immersive experience. Such seemingly separated experiences are in fact a mutual mapping of the external and internal aspects of personal perception.

In the poetry of solitude, one's understanding of the connection between oneself and the environment becomes multifaceted and nuanced.
