change of plans//'vagrant disposition'

so i've determined that the body of work i proposed before (titled cheesily 'lydia was here') should not be the focus of my exhibition here in Dunedin for the following reasons:

- the body of work will not be completed at that time (it will not be complete until i have left New Zealand, seeing as how it is about my entire experience here)

- it is more suitable for American audiences (seeing as how it focuses mainly on expressing my experience in a foreign land..)

- i have yet to come to a final decision on how to display the work, and i am not happy with hastily putting the images up on a wall

- i got another idea that i'm excited about.

so what is this other idea, you wonder? well, after the success of my installation at the Branch exhibition i mentioned to Alex the idea of adding more pieces like that to my exhibition. his response: "i think that in itself is a show." so i thought, why not make it a show?

so i've shot four images (well, actually five, but I don't like one of them) of me in various locations around dunedin - the middle of princes street, the alley by the dowling st studio, craig's bedroom, a jetty out in the bay.. Alex is going to print these images 1:1 so i can get to shooting the video.

 i'm quite excited about the space, it will be perfect for the print/projection combo. i will also be putting up some images from that 'lydia was here' series just to flesh it out a bit and add some variety. the main focus will be the installation series, which i have titled 'vagrant disposition.'

aaaand here's the poster.
