Wednesday
I finished the proposal – ish. Spent the first half of the day finishing it off – actually putting it all down on the computer for it to be read.
My final idea is a completely red room, no outside light coming in through any windows, lit through lamps on the floor. The room would be filled with paper cranes suspended from the ceiling, on the floor, on the walls – so that where ever you looked you would see a dozen Origami Cranes. The cranes would be made by community participation so they would embody all that they represent and they would be made out of anything and everything – from plain paper to bits of newspaper.
There would also be music – not sure exeactly what but there is a song about Sadako and her cranes in both english and japanese which gave me the idea of using a song(s) which are both english and japanese. The music would be there to add an extra dimension to the installation – music including the whole room so it would add to the idea of totality.
