Here's yet another Mesa Parking Structure photo, this time a few floors down from my first blog entry. For some reason this quarter I'm feeling drawn to big open spaces. Maybe because I feel a lack of this overall? Anyways, I was particularly drawn to the strong, clear, shaping of light in contrast to the darker spaces due to the structures of the parking structure that only let the light in through certain open areas. Due to these structures, the areas that are lit give dimension to the space in a very geometric way which I find comparable to the use of the shutters on the shins we have utilized within certain people's pieces throughout projects. In addition to shaping space in this way, the lit spaces that are closer to the viewer also reveal the details of the floor, giving the space more texture. I am intrigued by the subtle light at the base of the front two pillars in contrast to the strongly lit spaces just in front of them. In my mind I envision the two pillars being dancers moving towards the strongly lit spaces that are just downstage of them, moving into a space of vulnerability and light from a space of safety and hiding.
The dimly lit is also a cooler color, which allows it to recede even more - really great dancerly photo - you could just perform a piece in this light and it would be very well lit :)
ReplyDeleteI also love the far background, acting like a Cyc or backdrop.
This would be a really intriguing look onstage and could be done mainly with light and a few columns :)
