For my final project as a first semester MArch I at the GSD, I hastily created this stop action in the wee hours of the morning and began my presentation showing this film.
Lock Project
The project program, while perhaps in a way arbitrary, is a series of theaters and tight gallery spaces. The spring board for the work for each of us was a simple mechanism; mine was the Oldham Coupling Unit. I concentrated on the subtle movement that creates big shifts when the pieces are allowed to slide past each other, requiring inscription. Each sequence in the story of the building creates a new arrangement of program, allowing and disallowing passage, opening and closing the theaters and expanding them. At one special moment, the very bottom gallery reveals a secret corridor, allowing a body to pass into the wet grotto below, and to step out into the inscribed and carved earth work.
