Scale (Quiet in the City)-Jenni






Here are a few images from the first trip we took, starting at the Barbican leading up to Postmans Park. We were asked to record as much as we could, considering scale, sound and atmosphere. The Barbican is a great place for stepping back in time or for just simply enjoying the scale of its surroundings.
I found it to be a trail I would like to revisit as there is so much of back alley london that is to be discovered. Before leaving the Barbican heading to Postmans Park we walked through an exhibition aptly named "Curved" which combined the sound of the woods with approximatley 8-10 camera angles showing a nature retreat environment slowly moving from one frame to another around a curved wall, whilst a few found objects were displayed alongside some form of manipulation of their form, whether is be scale or texture.
We continued on through the Barbicans high bridges leading onto separate streets through London's Guildhall, finishing of at a quiet Postmans Park were there were memorials for people who had passed quite some time ago. This along with its overlapping trees and vibrant tulips made a reflective tranquil walk indeed. Suggestions for an outcome: collages, a visual map, or simply a manipulated photograph combining scale with words.
