First, we discussed my video, the parts
that work and the part I would need to come back to. This concerns my English
voice over in the last part of the video. Jean Marie suggested that I created a
bigger stretch in the parallel laying over of German and English voice (German
should be underneath the English longer), also, that I rerecord the last part
of my English language. At the moment, it sounds self-conscious and JM
encouraged me to ‘direct myself’ and to read the text to someone I am close
with, many times, which might help loosening up the piece.
We discussed if the conversation of the
actual abuse should be right at the beginning and agreed to leave it at the
end of the video
We discussed my whole body of work, how it
all started in the summer and why, I talked about the importance of my readings
at the moment which really help me go through this and face the work with my
past.
It is not a problem to create a catalog
instead of a project report, I will include a bibliography in the catalog. I really would like to create a detailed piece of work with many images and good quality paper (still have to investigate prices etc....)
Also I wanted to discuss how to present my
work in Berlin for the MFA. My idea at the moment is to bring many canvases
that are all put together / assembled in a chaotic way on the wall and the
floor and also show the video on a separate moving wall. I am not quite sure
how to discuss this personal work in front of people and am not quite sure how that fits
into a panel discussion, but want to discuss this further also with Andrew and
my cohort in the next few weeks. Can the work be the MFA? Or do I have to talk about it and explain the work?
We discussed how to approach my next
presentation in Mexico after my nightmare experience in Berlin and agreed that
‘less is more’. I do not want to overwhelm people anymore and give them too
much information by reading and reading and explaining every single little
detail of my work.
In regards to the video we agreed to let it
sit in the current version for a little while and then approach it again with a
new recording of my English voice in a couple of months.
Thank you Jean Marie for your time and
helpful comments and feedback to my work.
