In the work below I’m trying to engage myself into the work , to express my idea of ‘showing i am here in an intuitive way’.

I took this photo when I went to an exhibition in the Contemporary Art Institude. I used me holding a pin to represent the idea of physically being somewhere. Like at that moment I was in front of a shelf of book works. This pin is a really common one, we see this kind of sign when we are using google map or when we check on a map in a shopping center, and this pin stands for your location at that point. And when you moves, this pin will relocate to where you are, so this pin also have certain mobility which is injected by the actual person. It’s like using the map language to show myself in the real scenario. I was actually holding a pen in this photo and I drew a pin on it.

I choose this one because this shows another scale of the pin than the previous one. With this scale and distance, me myself can be able to show up in the environment, which probably can show the audience my idea more intuitively. In this photo I was holding a street lamp. I like how the buildings constructed two lines which leads to the center, and the pin is placing in the middle which is the focusing part in this photo.

In this photo I put the pin between the buildings so it is enlarged again than the previous one, showing another level of scale. I took this photo on the Shard, which is a different perspective from my other photos. This distance and perspective enabled me to put a bigger pin in this scene.

I want to further develop these set of photo in my independent project, i have got some ideas like changing this pin into something more individualized thing; Or playing with the distance; Or the link between my location at a point of time and my mobility showing through this pin. (Haven’t decided what to do next really)
