Lauren Yap Cavendish Road State High School
Stages of Modification Video
A transformation between past, present and future through cultural context.

ARTIST STATEMENT

The transition from past, present to future will be the most dramatic shift we face as history is made day to day. My film explores changes in human experiences and the upbringing relating to technological advancements. I explored Cat Poljski's technique through a video format to demonstrate advancement in technology. The video portrays silhouettes of different aged people, giving the audience a glimpse into their minds. The representation of these developments in time is illustrated with the use imagery (past) to modern day time-lapses of of city life and the importance for the audience to understand the cultural context.

ARTWORK PROCESS

It was important to illustrate how modernisation has changed the way we perceive the world which is clearly demonstrated. I was influenced by Zarina Hashmi and Cat Poljski to take upon a new approach to identify how I would be able to convey the message exploring other techniques. Both artworks outline the importance of change and how today our world is vastly evolving to which we have to constantly adapt to. I was able to adapt and incorporate these techniques to create a final resolved artwork.
