After researching Fischli and Weiss I was really inspired by their film 'The point of least resistance', and the amateur quality of it, as well as the satirical point of view it had on the art world. From this, I have planned to devise and direct my own short film, to take place in the EAST gallery. I have already spoken to the gallery, who said that it would be okay for me to go into the gallery in the morning before it was open to the public to do some filming. I would have liked to have had done this before the end of BA3a, but alongside my extended essay I know I will not have the time. However, I will continue to plan and set this up for the next unit. As I have never done something like this before, it will have an amateur feel to it, so I am hoping that it echoes the work of Fischli and Weiss. One of the costumes for the film will be the pink shrimp spectacle that I showed in the Interim exhibition, but I am undecided as to what the other will be. I think I shall make a new spectacle for it.
This is a very rough storyboard for the film, I don't want to plan it too much, because I want to be able to think through the filming and direct most of it on the day, as I think the most interesting things will happen this way. The basic plot goes like this:
The pink shrimp spectacle sculks through the gallery shuffling around
it tries to sneakily steal a piece of artwork
but
a policman catches him
'HANDS UP'
a chase around the gallery ensues
Neither of the people wearing the costumes will be able to see, so the chase will be slow and probably catastrophic. I will have to do a risk assessment for this I think to make sure there are little trip hazards. At the moment I haven't thought about whether I want sound or music in the background of the film, or whether I want it to be raw and unedited, but these are both things I can figure out later. Ultimately this is going to be a big experiment, and I kind of like not knowing how it is going to turn out.
