"What the fog" (Working Title)
“Fog” will likely take the form of an immersive (and hopefully interactive) audio-visual installation that explores the ethereal, low-lying “fog” that envelops Weimar and the surrounding landscape during the early morning. Through a series of filmed experiments in the countryside, I hope to challenge the “real-time” experience of the fog as it inundates and subsequently dissipates within the landscape. Eventually,I hope to produce work that mines and playfully manipulates the spatial and temporal dimensions of this phenomenon and the environment in which it occurs. In addition to collecting footage from a variety of rural settings around Weimar, I will also conduct a series of experiments using artificially generated/man-made fog, and explore air (in its many forms) as a material/medium with which which to create work. In so doing, I hope to derive some meaning with regard to the scientific and metaphysical properties of fog.
