Final Installation
Video installation 2 screens
A recreation of my grandmothers livingroom. De installation is positioned in a corner 3m by 3m.
Tech aquipment 1 option = 1 projector hanging from the ceiling + wooden panel/board + sound umbrella + 3 spotlights + media player
Tech aquipment 2 option = 2 screens (40 inch) hanging from the ceiling + wooden panel/board + sound umbrella + 3 spotlights + media player
I prefer to go with the projector, but i could go for the 2 screens
The wooden panel/board wil be 2 meters long and 1 meters high. This will be hanged behind the screens or the material to project on. You will see it in the designs that I share with you.
The sound will come from the sound umbrella, that will hang above the leather couch.
The lights will light up the music stands and on these stands there will be pictures and stories that fit the installation. 1 will be in the back of the installation and the other one at the entrence of the space.
Colorwise = the corner or 2 wooden panels/boarden and colored brown, or one wooden panel/board for the screening area colored brown (light brown). The curtain would also be light brown.
If it comes to the curtain and the wooden panels, is that something I could get from WORM or Tent? Else I will try to arrange it by myself.
Here are the designs:

Screen catalogus
Projector design

And here is the link to an online version of the visualisation of the project:
I am curious to what you think is best for the installation. (projector or screens)
If the space is to big I could reduce it to 2.80m by 280m (max 2.50m by 2.50m), but 3m by 3m would be amazing.

Bodies of Water
Logline
The ritualistic film, and ceramics installation Bodies of Water contemplates humans disconnect to, and exploitation of the environment.
Super 8 shots of an imaginary ritual, staged in a quarry lake – formed by clay mining, are juxtaposed with images of still active clay extraction sights.
Ceramic objects and instruments serve in the film and installation as a form of honouring communication with nature as a more-than-human entity.
Artist Bio
Clara Franke (1998, Hamburg), multidisciplinary artist/designer shaped a practice moving swiftly between photography, filmmaking, ceramics and costume design.
The intimate, calming world she builds evolves around topics of community/collaboration, the body, (spiritual) eco-feminism, mysticality, and contemplation of consumerism.

Final Installation draft for Florian
Name: Clara Franke
Project: Bodies of Water
Installation:
1 / Back projection on screen, with a width of around 2 meters (on the "Projectiescherm 4:3 / 220x180 possibly if that is a back projection screen? Then I could keep my super 8 framing, but I would also be ok with cutting the image to a different format, if you do not have a back projection screen in 4x3), which touches the floor. I would enjoy this being in V2, as the floor would reflect the image nicely, but I trust your vision: )
Audio-wise I still think that 1-2 speakers will do the job, as the sound is quite important, but simple and not too distracting from other works (Bird and water sounds).
2 / Altar installation (approx 2x2meters and 1 meter away from the screen). This will need a spotlight(please not too cold light if possible) from above to highlight the objects and will include around 5 candles.
3 / I can possibly install a second altar in one of the "transition spaces", which would also need 1 spotlight from above and a small wall to attach the hanging pieces, as seen in the image below. This would be 50cm deep, 60cm wide and 110cm high (But can easily be made smaller without the table.)

BLIND SPOTS, LIGHT TRICKS/TRACES, FLASHES AND FAILURES
Logline
BLIND SPOTS, LIGHT TRICKS/TRACES, FLASHES AND FAILURES articulates in an installation form a multifaceted reflection on the blurred spaces between vision and blindness, visibility and invisibility, technologies of image-making and experiencing, subtly merging personal, political and formal concerns.
Images
Artist Bio
Suburban melancholic, digital nihilist, full-time flâneur. Mostly makes images move, writes in fragments, endlessly edits. His recent practice questions material and immaterial stakes of images, vision and visibility, lingering on thresholds, edges and moments of failures. He is a member of artist-run film lab Filmwerkplaats.
FINAL INSTALLATION PLAN
My installation will ideally take up a space of approximately 3x4m. It will have a more open layout compared to the plan proposed on Monday (I got rid of the long wall in front of it)
The architectural features that that I consider essential to the installation are:
- a back wall ( around 4m in length)
- a side wall (ideally around 3m in length), perpendicular to the back wall, on the right side (see floor plan).
- a dark environment
The installation comprises 4 elements:
- (GREEN in floor plan) a 2 channel video piece, projected by a single overhead projector on the side/corner wall. The projection is made of two 16.9 frames juxtaposed (see screenshot above). The projection area is at least 240cm wide, but will ideally take up the full width of the side wall. The projection is at eye level. The sound is played by 1 set of speakers, positioned close to the wall towards the audience.
- (YELLOW in floor plan) a video piece displayed on a 7 inch LCD display (that I will provide) and played as a loop by a media player (ideally a Raspberry pi). The 7 inch display has to be at around 160cm height, either hanging from the ceiling or standing on the floor, with the most unobtrusive/invisible support system possible. The monitor is parallel to the back wall, at a distance of approximately 3 meters. This piece also requires a set of speakers to play the sound in the video, to be placed close to the screen.
- (PURPLE in floor plan) a 16 mm film loop played by an Eiki 16mm projector (that I will provide). The projector is on the floor, close to the back wall, on the left side of the space. The image is projected on a custom built screen (100x50x3cm), also on the floor, at no less than 2,5 meters from the projector..The film runs in a loop above the projector, hanging from a custom-built device that will hang from the ceiling or the back wall. In case this is not possible, I will only run the film in the projector, with a looper device.
- (BLUE in floor plan) a 3,5 inch LCD display (that I will provide) paired with a Media player (ideally provided by you, if not available I can bring my own), that will show a still image. I am still not sure on how/where I want this piece to be - probably at around 90cm from floor, attached to the back wall - but as it is very small and light object and only requires a power connection, it will be easy to figure it out during the build-up days.
To sum up, the equipment required is
- 1 digital projector (overhead mount) - 1 media player - 1 set of speakers
AND
- 2 media players (possibly 2 identical Raspberri Pi’s), 1 set of speakers.
Notes:
If the available space is smaller than 4x3m, the parts of the installation can be closer to each other. It is essential for the installation that there is some space between them and they are not too squeezed together, but the most important thing is the way they are positioned in relation to one another. If the layout of the space is different (ex. different position of the side wall, or overall position in the exhibition venue) I am open to reconsider positions of the elements for a better result and experience of the audience.
The 16mm film projector and loop system will be installed with the help of an expert from Filmwerkplaats Wednesday 26th June.
I am able to set up the Raspberri Pis by myself during the install days if needed.
The installation features 3 sound sources (2 sets of speakers and in-built sound of the 16mm projector). A careful positioning and setup of the speakers will be needed to balance the sounds.

Work(ing Together) in Process
Logline
Two strangers met in a sex shop. With differing motivations, they began a multi-year film project. Work(ing Together) in Process is a romantic comedy desktop film performing an autopsy upon their tragic collaboration.
Artist Bio
Sam Koopman is a Dutch-Canadian artist and filmmaker based in Rotterdam. His practice inquires upon the border of documentary and fiction, exploring his encounters with people and place – their mundanities, vulnerabilities and absurdities. Central to this is a focus on humour and participatory processes for meaning making, often questioning the role of his lens.

Installation plan
Update: Open layout. My new Plan A would be now to show the film open in the space, not closed off. Photos below of tests (these include walls next to the image but that is not necessary). Roughly 4x4m in total size. Projection 2.5-3m in length. It seems UBIK would probably make most sense for this, but I have no strict preference. I would prefer a darker space. Distance from projector to wall in tests was 4m. I would like to have a mini-amphitheatre-type seating area, with 6 or 9 seats (2/3 rows of 3 seats). For this I will need chairs, with the back 2 rows slightly raised on platform/flats.
Technical needs:
- 1 projector
- 1 doek/wall to project upon
- 1 set of speakers
- 6 - 9 seats
- 3 sets of flats/platforms to raise seats

As Cliffs Roar, Caves Whisper
Logline
In 1783 two riding officers survey a horizon from a clifftop in southern England. On the beach below, in 2043, a geologist investigates the caves and surrounding geological forms for useful minerals. Through geological, technological, animal and human gazes we traverse between these two timelines, creating a composite reflective of the geologically rich landscape in which both narratives take place.
Artist Bio
Arabella Turner (UK/NL) is an artist and filmmaker using video, sound, digital 3D modelling, and text. Her films intricately layer timelines, merging historical and contemporary narratives, revealing the present in the past and vice versa. In her scripts and text-based works, she explores the shapes and structures of storytelling.
Images
Final Installation plan
Composed of:
- Video, Single Channel, 15 mins.
- 2 sets of drawings on paper, each set contains 4-5 large sheets of paper.
I imagine the video to be back projected with amplified sound. This film contains many wide shots of landscapes, this is why I think it would suit a larger projection as opposed to a screen. The sound is mainly a ambient soundscape with minimal dialoge. The drawings will be hanging on a structure that I will provide, and lit with LED's which I can provide. There will be floor seating which I can also source. I suggest an open layout, please see images below for measurements, further details on layout and references from try-outs.
Projection: 312cm x176cm
Drawings: 120cm x 200cm
Equipment to borrow
- Short throw projector
- Hanging projection screen
- Set of speakers

Logline (Project Description)
A series of 20 still-life photos based on superstitions from Thailand.
Artist Bio
Panida Petchara (Te) is a photographer and visual artist working between Bangkok and Rotterdam. She transforms everyday objects into fictional narratives, sparking reflection with satirical humor and playfully exploring superstitions, capitalism, and socio-political themes.
Images
Installation Plan
I’d like to show two works. Each work requires one TV screen (2 screens in total): one horizontal screen hanging from the ceiling at a distance from the wall and another vertical screen leaning on a pillar or block, preferably distant from the wall. Both works can be exhibited separately (not exhibited next to each other).
Technical Equipment Needs:
- 2 screens. Preferably 75” for horizontal video (hanging) and 46” for vertical video (on the floor) because their sizes are relatively similar to the tested dimensions, but this can be adjusted based on availability
- 2 headphones (with long cable) for horizontal video. The sound from the vertical video will play through its speaker.

Painting it Pink
Logline
Through an essayistic film in which past and present get intertwined, Lau attempts to grasp their messy family history and the stories that have informed them throughout the years. They do everything possible to get closer to two key memories of their parents, even recreating and re-enacting these experiences.
Artist Bio
Lau Zautsen is a visual artist and filmmaker, based in Utrecht. In their practice Lau challenges and explores the dominant narratives that shape our subjective understanding. They explore this interest in a playful approach through various mediums: film, text and performance. They are also part of a queer performance collective called KALEIDO.

Lau installation plan for Florian
Open lay-out. Large, wooden wall consisting of two frames (each 1,22 by 2,44, together 2,44 by 2,44) will stand up straight. Both sides will offer a diffirent side of the installation. In front of the wall people can walk around and observe the pictures. Behind the wall people can sit and watch the film.
Tech equipment:
-1 projector, hanging
-4 headphones (hanging from the ceiling)
-2 spotlights (to light up the living room wall)
- A frame/construction that holds up the two frames as a wall.
I will provide the walls, the props and something to sit on that fits the installation myself.
Idea of installation:
On one side of the wooden wall is the background of a living room. Here, photos are hung, and a few objects from the film can be seen, presented on a This wall is light up.
On the other side of the wooden wall is the pink-painted room, here the film is played. I would like to project the film on the pink wall itself, since testing showed this could be possible when adjusting the settings of the projector. The line in between the two frames I want to fix by taping the projected part and painting this pink as well (I can also paint the projected part white, but I want to do it in a way that fits the look & feel of the overall installation, I'm happy to discuss this).
Sound-wise I would like to work with 4 hanging headphones in a way that they don't interfere with the projection.

Memories I don't remember
Logline
Memories I don’t remember is a short film that follows my journey of collecting memories and stories of a family from Croatia that lived in the house of my grandmother in 1991/92 in which I have also lived for the first year of my life. I have photographs of the family taken by my father where I am also present, but I have no memories of my own as I was so little.
Artist Bio
Nina Rojc was born in Slovenia but considers herself a citizen of the world. She is interested and inspired by anything unusual, especially human relationships and behaviour, our relationship to nature and how to decolonize, change and revolutionize systems of oppression and our learned ways of seeing. Her work might appear simple at first, but she intentionally strips it of all unnecessary layers, to bring audience closer to the essence of life, to all that lies beneath the surface and might not be necessarily visible, obvious. She aims to draw attention to the diversity and complexity of this world, to allow us to recognize and accept all that do not conform to established norms and to see many ways in which these participants enrich our co-existence.

Nina's installation
Single chanel video, 22min.
Location - V2 if possible, because I would like to have the tickets and restricted use of phones. V2 is maybe easier to access and easier to find.
Sound - 5 headphones. I would need comfortable headphones, because the film is 22 min. If it works it could be great with the a pair of speakers. It is important that people will be able to recognise the voices, because there are no faces in the film, so that people can connect the voices to the stories.
Seating - 5 chairs + 1 chair for me. In the plan there are two options, one with chairs 45x45cm and the other 50x50cm.
Shelf - one self standing shelf to put phones on.
Materials - Curtain, preferably very high curtain, maybe to the ceiling. The curve can be determined by the amount of space we have.
The curtain has only one access, so that I can know who is coming in and out, because the use of the phones will not be permited.
Maybe a sign, Please do not disturb or else while the film is playing.
Lights - Maybe one source of light for the entrance which can be switched off and on, because behind the curtain will be dark.

Luni final installation idea
Single chanel video, ~15min30sec.
Location- in the darker place of the room, if possible.
Projection Start Point- The bottom edge of the projected image should be approximately 40 cm above the floor level.
Sound - speakers. Speakers should be capable of playing very low sub-bass frequencies, since it’s a part of the film's audio.. Most simple external speakers should be ok for this, but just to be sure…!
Seating - bench… Is there a lower/longer bench available, like a seating base…? If not, a simple bench will do or I might organize my own..
*3-5 spotlights (warm light if possible) for the additional element*
*Additional element - 3-5 fabrics hanging from the ceiling on the fishing threads, therefore need an attachment points on the ceiling to attach the threads, surrounding the projection and bench.
P.s. My film contains mainly still, textured landscapes, and was filmed on 4K. After exporting in HD the quality visibly reduces.. Therefore, if there would be any possibility to get 4K projector, I would be very grateful!

Installation mockup front view
Installation mockup view from above
Installation tryout images from class
Installation description/Notes
The images shown above were made while using a regular projector. Upon discussion in class, I was encouraged to use a short throw projector instead. The short throw projector would prevent the audience from covering the animation, providing more flexible seating arrangements. A short throw would also light up the flowers casting their shadows onto the animation. I intend to arrange the square shaped 150x150cm wooden pannels on the sides myself (unless there are any available in the space) since the sizing is quite specific. I will provide the pillows for the seatting myself, however the shapes and sizes of the pillows in the mockups and class tryouts are not final. If this planning is not sufficient or possible for the space, I am of course open to any changes that would be suggested.
