davidloom.net / artworks / Unknown neighbor - series
A first photo artwork based on a personal research about viewer’s double-layer viewing experience. There is only one simple rule for taking all the photos: try to take orthogonal pitctures via as many unusual perspectives as possible from one singles spot.
In the exhibition, this work rapresents three different displays of the photos:
on the wall, on the floor and hanging from the ceiling.
Therefore, the viewers have to look at the artwork in three different ways:
being close in front of it - going around it - sitting on the floor to look inside of it.
The audience may experience a mind of exploring and find one’s specific viewing point
just like living in the neighbourhood surrounded by “yards” and looking out from one’s back yard window.
Unknown neighbor - scenery series is a commissioned artwork for the show YARD
curated by Ming-Jiun Tsai at Tunghai University Art Gallery, Taipei
