#031 Called to shift my work + Choice of lighting effect

I got a call on Wednesday to shift my work onto the other wall near the entrance of the second gallery. It is good in way because this time round I have an entire wall for my work. Because there is a hole on right side of this wall, I shifted my work slightly more towards the left so that visually it will not be affected by the presence of the hole on the wall.

The technician was not available to help me with the adjustment of the lighting, but thankfully my classmates and my mum were there to help me carry and support the gigantic ladder. At first I didn't want to have any light source but because the other works in the room had lights if my work did not, it is to my disadvantage. So I chose to adjust the light so that it shines only on the mini torch projector to prevent the light to pour over onto my cutouts. This is to ensure that the area where the cutouts are is dim so that when images are projected it will not be washed out.

I also tried out the projection of the images onto the cutouts. I feel that it is much easier now without the background as the viewer can focus on using the silhouette as a guide to fit onto the right cutout.
