I'll be the first to admit that this photo is far from interesting. This light, however, did bring several words to mind when I looked at it or any light like this in any setting. To me, it is sterile, sad, void of emotion and warmth. This type of light reminds me of the light found in hospitals and elicits feelings of separation and isolation. It is not a light that soothes or comforts you, it is a light that reveals.
Olivia, I like your idea to look at a simple fluorescent light and it is interesting to hear your emotional associations to it. I also love that you acknowledge its purpose (to reveal). you MADE THIS light interesting :)
ReplyDeleteGood study of this type of light - the ideas have been taken up in many movies with creators who felt the same - Brazil and the Matrix come to mind
ReplyDeleteGood post :)
The words you use to describe this are great. I agree with Boroka that your interpretation of the light makes the picture more interesting. I want to see the product of it!
