A Four Lettered Word - Part Four

This project has ind of fallen away a little. This is as I always have more than one project on at any one time. However, I have played with digitally altering the image. This was an attempt to blur the text.

While this did work, I worry that it makes the text too unreadable - the central letters feel OK to me, but the outer letters are becoming lost.

I am note sure where I will go with this idea, or if it will just fade away into the night. 

I think that i is good to remember that not all projects and ideas will work out, that is just part of the creative journey.

A Four Lettered Word - Part Three

 One of the things that makes the project is the transformation in the work, day to night and the addition to a torch and the visual is completely transformed.




One thing that I am considering is using the words that I created and bring in a bit of Dada and using the words to create almost cut and paste poems or streams of consciousness.

It will allow me to explore how much you can convey with only Four Lettered words. Results might be deep and profound, or utter nonsense. Either way I look forward to finding out.

At the moment I am thinking that this Dada excursion could be done in one of two ways: still images of a video loop.

Some Visual Workings Out

One: Side-by-side


Two: Top and Bottom


Three: Grid



Four: Video



Issues

The pictures have all been taken at different viewpoints so the lettering does not line up exactly, I think this is an issue, but it might not be.

The fact that they look different highlights that they are different, and they ARE different. They existed in different times and different moments of now-ness.

TBC

White or blue or both.

If I do video I could then project the video of the photo, I could project the video of the photos on the site the photos where taken.
