Environment art 10: More research

I know I should be starting my work now but I still had a bit of trouble for my environment theme, which is mirrors. So during this week I was looking at the different uses of mirrors and one of them was making a small room look huge or even making the room bottomless.
Here are the images I have fond on the Internet:









When I founded these images I thought I could base my final piece around the idea of making a small room look huge. I might need to consult with Phil on this.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night

And Happy New Year

Something Uncanny happened to me.

On the night of Friday the 18 everyone in Flat13, the accommodation I am living in, went away to see their families for the Christmas holidays, and I was all alone. I haven't realize how quit the halls was because usually it pretty noisy so living in quietness just felt scary. I actually started to get a bit paranoid, thinking there was someone following me. I was so scared :(. Although I have made it thought the night unharmed I still remember that uneasiness of silence.

Environment art 9: Mirror layout research

Yesturday I thought I could look at the living rooms of the 1960s and I didn't know they had sliding glass doors to the garden in those days, it gave me an idea for another scene. which having a mirror on the wall by the side of the sliding glass door.
so here are my new research and my sketch.












I am still deciding but I think the living room seems more interesting because it treats the mirror like an eye on a wall, it knows whats going on outside and inside. It judges if the house is clean, that apperance of visitors and the condition of your garden.

Environment art 8: Mirror's design research

Today I went to Homebase to gather some ideas on making my mirror. It wasn't too hard, but I have to be careful with them because they are quite expencive, atleast to me.

The Stepford Wives (1975) Review

Today I will be reviewing the movie The Stepford Wives (1975)



The film starts with a family moving into Stepford, because living in New York was too crazy. But while there Joanna, the main character, felt that something is wrong with the women in Stepford. They all are so perfect. Soon her best friend Bobby became one of them and she felt that her turn is right around the corner.
Stepford Wives depicts the men as control freaks, not caring what the women thinks. They want their wives to be the ideal house wife that cooks, cleans and say yes to the husband's every needs without question. Of course real women aren't like that so why not make robots that are based off of their own wives. Dale Coba, also known as Diz, who is the villain of the film, gave the reason why the men are turning the women into the perfect wives, it is because they can. They have the power, the technologies so they used that to their own benefit. I think their plan of turning their wives into something more perfect is a good plan that went out of hand, instead of making their own wife from scratch, why not use the one they already have as their template.
There are some warnings to show that Stepford isn't all that it's seems. First would be Joanna's husband talking to his neighbor on the same day the two of them moved to Stepford. Another warning would also be when Carol, one of the Stepford Wives, started to repeat herself when talking about a recipes she must have. However to me the biggest warning is near the beginning when Joanna's husband is drunk and keeps telling her that he loves her.
When I see the wives in the film they all look too happy, so happy that it's frightening. Caring about cleaning more then anything else. And to add that they are robots increase the fear, that we are servants to technology. It takes use that one step closer when humanity will be obsoleat and the machine will rise. Sorry for sounding like conspiracy nut but that what it feels to me. However at the very end of the film we see all the wives in a shopping mall and they all look emotionless only when gretting one another is when they put on a smile. It shows the men are sad to think they gave up their real wives for poor replicas, and only being with these version they will be happy.
Stepford Wives really show's a different view on the world. Treating it as an unhappy place, that only making their own perfect partners is when they are truly happy.
