Light – Development

I made a quick response to my thoughts about how light can obscure your vision. I find something interesting about when a light is pointed right at you, (light that is suppose to make you see more clearly), you can no longer see anything other than the light and not much else surrounding it. I understand it is simple physics but Id like to draw focus to things we often over look.

I took a slow motion video of myself turning on a light. When, on camera, if you select to focus on the light it creates more darkness around the light source.  I think it is similar to when James Turrell was on stage and couldn’t see the audience, making him the light source in my film, in  a sense.

It not until the light is off you can see the whole image of the lightbulb, AGAIN.. light + truth?

I think it’s important that this particular development is captured and played to an audience rather than a real time performance as you can’t see this well with the eye, it is only when you pair light and camera and how they effect each other.

now writing this down I think its untrue, I will try to experiment with real time light effects and darkness. But I do think the camera/film as the viewer is important as that is how it will be shown due to covid-19.
