Showreel of Tests
This is a quick showreel of tests from my years work in preparation for my final assessment on 20110616 at the Bartlett School of Architecture
Un_Reel - Synopsis
The Un_Reel is an experimental short which focuses on Hyperreality and the way in which we perceive Architecture when created through photography, cinematography and image based representation . It explores the ways in which architecture, as a practice of visual consumption can manipulate, warp and enhance the way in which we imagine and absorb the cities we live in.
The film begins with a photographic portrayal of London where all seems in order. Little by little the cityscape begins to display traits of the uncanny whereby landmarks multiple, artifice is uncovered and the physical structure of London is questioned suggesting that London is actually fake, a construct that holds no relationship to authenticity.
The time comes where the conscience of Jed Wright is introduced and suggests that what has just been documented are the visions of London through his mind. As he explores deeper into his perception of built space it becomes clear that his visions are not of his own but of what he experiences through image representation of city life.
The progression of his state of conscience develops over the years into a state of complete synthetic existence where all matter is nurtured from his consumption of visual media in photographic and cinematographic formats.

Production Graphics of The Un_Reel
This Image is a illustrative graphic which explains the overall concept for the film. When read from left to right is portrays the stages involved when ingesting architectural space through imagery and representation to the point where the two can not be distinguished from one another and result in a hybrid world of representation being formed. The hybrid form combines the virtual and the analogue to produce experiences of space as a state of mind that grows out of the imaginary!
