Context

Similarly to the previous post, concerning the rationale of ‘Seeing is Believing’ it would not be correct to try and summarize the context of the project in one condensed section. This is something that will develop greatly as a result of further research into light, how it works and the meanings associated with it. There has after all been a long fascination with light, with applied meanings stretching back to pre-biblical periods. The various different opinions and context surrounding will be examined during the process of the work. A thorough look into how light is perceived contextually will add complexity and a more informed foundation to evolve from.

As well as considering a variety of historical contexts it is also important to evaluate similar projects, or projects where light has been a core driving force behind the work. Throughout the research and pre-production process of the project, I examined a few similar projects, including work by James Turrell and Anthony McCall (something that will be documented in later entries). I will however be keen to research into further examples during production process, as they will undoubtedly enrich my work.
