Revealing the Other World

Dis-Constructing my installation - 'The Uncanny corridor'


Starting with taking down the cheap board






It was sad taking this installation down because it puts a lot of effort constructing this corridor and putting together all the cardboard boxes. But it is already up there for a long period due for other student to use the space.

However, during the process of desconstucting this piece, I realised that this actual piece is sort of like a shelter or a place where little animal hiding such as rats, ants or any other insects. But with this installation, it is a large human rats scale tunnel. When we opened the first two and three walls, we can see the interior of the corridor piece (cardboard boxes corridor) and it looks exactly same as what animal does inside the tunnel or behind our walls (images below). Full of rubbish and mess inside the tunnel.







This is what happened when the whole front walls taken down

However, during this process, I managed to take some interesting photos of this process which relates with the concept of this installation.


As you can see here, this photograph shows the interior and the exterior of my installation corridor. It gives two pictures of scenery; living inside the reality and also living inside the other reality such as imagination, shifting our self into uncanny work or our inner subjective emotion as a metaphor, making myself as a rats hiding behind this wall.
