Reflection
At the start of this semester, I was uncertain whether to stay with my original concept or move on to something new. Now, having decided to base my project on the book Beklaute Frauen, I feel much more confident in my direction.
Engaging in conversations with others, especially conducting that first interview, was very important. It revealed to me that I might have been focusing the wrong medium for my story, which in turn led me to rethink my approach.
With these insights, I arrived at the idea of an interactive installation and was inspired by the work of audio-visual artist Philipp Artus. His translation of user input into abstract visual forms helped me see new possibilities for my own prototype.
Through the prototyping process I learned that I need to bind the narratives of these women more deeply to the visitor’s interactions, perhaps even making this connection into an auditory dimension.
Of course, all of this is based on finding an exhibition venue willing to host my work. I still need to determine whether I can secure a official exhibition spot or whether I should explore alternative ways to present the installation without one.
