Arrows, Ghosts and Lights

For a while I've been trying to bring my movement through space concept in a new direction. To some but little avail.

The first attempt brought e back to a very basic version of the afterimage plan, where I took a sparkler into a dark car park and slowed the shutter speed of my camera right down to create the trail of light. I wanted to go over and back to make one long continos line, but I must have had it at the wrong setting because it took much shorter snipits of a line that reminded me of something like glow worms.

This was just something I really wanted to try and really has little do do with anything now but it's still a little relevant.

Eventually I managed to get hold of some acetate for the frame. They turned out largely simialar to the originals. But I prefer them, partially because of the colour and the face they're versitile in the way they can be hung and displayed. The first is the 2 sheets placed one on top of the other. Then the other photos are the sheets individually. Bpey right they should be side to side, but hey, experimintation I guess.

 And finally to take the whole arrow and watching where people walk thing in a new direction by actually attempting to draw the people as they walk past. But trying this in my sketcchbook, I didn't have any time to add in much detail, so I recorded the hallway for a few minutes and edited the film to slow it down. Then using tracing paper I drew over the people with one continuos line, kind of like the Walk The Dog drawings from my childhood. I much prefer these to the arrows and they still give a sense of direction AND of momntum and distance.
