Space, Thing, and Perception

Me [Brent] giving instructions over the phone:

OK I fiddled around with space in Photoshop. In the image it looks better with just one piece on that wall, either the black, or red as edited in jpg.
The other piece could go on either other small wall.
This means if you take out the red it could go on that small wall to the right, so that when you see it you are likely to notice the middle plastic bit, which can work helping to play with scale. Then you can move around to get a different view.
If you take the black one out then you can put that on the small wall to the left, so you see the middle layer of plastic first and an extreme angle.

How it was last night looks OK but also very regular,contained within the narrow frame and not dialogging with the real space.
With a single image on that framed wall as you can see in the images, the space seems to come alive much more and the scale feels shifting, opening the space and expanding it.
If you wouldn’t mind giving that a go:) and send an image thru.

As you say it opens up the relations in a much more dynamic way – working with third dimension like that. There is a very nice shift as the viewer moves in the room as well.

Your pieces worked very well in the space, the feeling in reality was even much better than on the attached images… I found the installation perfect, nothing to criticize about the positioning and a thrilling tension between the two pieces. I like the interaction between the red and black and the “sandwich” thing
