IEVA'S PIECE

what? Yalou says the first she saw was a flower and a flower, how it blooms, the music reminds her of constantly that the time goes, things are going, changing, movement. Ieva: assignment about time that you had to do, time that goes faster and slower, and she was thinking about internal time, when things go faster or slower. Blooming artificially and non artificially. A video about internal time.

How? She had three different process, blooming and dying. Stop motion opening a flower, the second one boiling a flower and the third one just an opening flower. edited in double exposure mostly stop motion, collage and photoshop. Picture>Photoshop + AfterEffects> Eyemovie For the blooming itself 20 or 50 images, together may be around 100.

Why? She didn't know how to represent time. Flowers have this real timeline, and clear to simbolise with the process. She also watches videos of nature. Time would be involved more time in the project that way. Why did you choose animation? She couldn't think of anything and usually when that happens she overcomplicates. She sees the difficulties of working with camera and sets. (A) May be you feel more connected with paintings and still images? Video made out of pictures, so she find that cool to capture movement and there is a strange time of movement. She always starts experimenting but doesn't have a clear vision of what she wants to achieve. Music through "Ableton". Check certain tones and notes.

What came before? Before this project she was making more abstract animations, making them with music to get synchronic audiovisuals but more in an abstract. Yalou comes back to the choice of music, Ieva says that she is inspired by Nicholas Jaar, because he makes music with interesting sounds which seems more landscapes having different textures visually, when a glass is broken you can visualise the kind of texture. So she was trying to make more sound music herself and she puts cords in there, "oh, the four cords are used in all the pop songs". Yalou says that she uses the basic to develop further.

What will follow? There's a relation about the theme: she is struggling with internal problems and subconscious problem. So it relates in the content but also in the formal aspects: audiovisuals by animations with music, which she thinks there are some meaning behind.

What would you change The proportions (aspect rate) in some places and also she feels messy that the frame had a wide line out there. Also work to be cleaner and focus on the details.

What are its limits? She doest know the context of the question. The limits are not that easy to understand if you don't know what is it about? It doesn't have a clear narrative and it is mostly made by one technique.

How could it be translated? She doesn't know... but thinking about showing the video for an exhibition.. It could be translated into a book, with more pages with smaller frames and happier one could just be more faster and clear. The idea becomes very repetitive so it could be translated into a repetitive kind of piece.
