Reading Project #2

"A few people get violently claustrophobic and start screaming," - Diane Ackerman on the touch rooms, page 97

For the second piece, I went with straight up photography (with some slight adjustments in Photoshop) and placed a humanoid figure, which had a screaming expression in the dark depths of my room. Whilst it is just vague enough to make out the face slightly askance, it is primarily a dark photo. It is meant to symbolize those which lose their senses and consciousness in the darkened halls of sensory stimulation. Whilst it is a somewhat tame representation compared to actually experiencing someone screaming across a vast, inky, abyss of a room, it still retains a somewhat creepy atmosphere and is meant to inspire just some manner of discomfort. In hindsight, I wish there was more background space to make this haunting visage even more hidden and frightening.
