Opening tomorrow, Thursday, July 25 at 11:00 a.m. slt, is Cica Ghost's Ghostville at Per4mance MetaLES ..O.., curated by Ux Hax, Lanjran Choche and Romy Nayar. Following in the path of the artist's two previous sim-wide installations—Black and White and Rust (the latter of which is still up for a short while longer at LEA13)—Ghostville employs an unmistakably similar form and style but focuses on different materials. Both earlier installations are referenced here.
Black and White, a playful stick-figure world of people, hills and houses, and Rust, a brown-tinted world filled with quirky machines and animals, are taken a logical step forward. In Ghostville, a ground color palette of browns and black is peppered with vanilla and jasmine colored partial buildings (they stand as though they are finished, just not complete), all set against a slowly drifting steel blue sky. Throughout, despite the surreal and sometimes stark landscape, are touch of Cica's sense of humor and playfulness. The installation will remain up for two months.
It was lovely to meet you the other day. and may I say that these are the best photos on the subject so far... kudos :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Becky! It was lovely to meet you as well, and I'd like to write about the Basilique soon—let's be in touch.
ReplyDeletewhat an amazing location. Thank you for sharing. I'd never have found it.
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome!
ReplyDeleteHello, tell me what settings you used for the last photo, it will help me, thank you.
ReplyDeleteHello Pradka. I'm glad you like the image, but it would be hard for me to summarize the settings—I'm always changing them depending on the photo, and I wouldn't be able to recreate what I did exactly. I use Firestorm, and use the Phototools component extensively. I'm sure my settings were on 'ultra' (which can mean different things in different viewers) in telephoto, making use of depth of field sliders, using in this case the default windlight settings. One of these days I'll post a tutorial. :)
