Video Installation - Spider Projection

Huseyin Hamit

As I have been searching online at projections and video installations I stumbled upon this particular video which was quite interesting. The video consists of a spider being recorded within a square box the sides and top of the box being glass which replicates a similar room that the video installation will be played in. As you will see from the video the way it is done is by recording something small but enlarging the recorded video and projecting it within a much larger room creating a very different effect since we know that spiders cannot be that large the size difference really makes a big impact on the viewer as if a very large spider is trying to escape which changes our perception of the spider and the space it is being projected within.

  1. I actually have to say, this is one of the best things I have seen in such a long time! The idea of itself is amazing but to project it to that scale is intense. I think it comes from biggest fears, spiders are hated by many people and to have spiders projected onto buildings is quite powerful. I would like to look into the idea of 'biggest fears' and see how we could use that in projection.
