The Infinite Mix

Today, we went to see The Infinite Mix exhibition and saw a variety of work at The Hayward Gallery.

Martin Creed - Work No. 1701 (2013)

This was the first piece what I saw which consisted of people crossing the road in various ways. As it was the first room that you enter, it takes you quite a while to understand what is going on. I think that the fact that everyone is completing the same action but in different ways was to show how everyone is unique.

Jeremy Deller & Cecilia Bengolea - Bom Bom’s Dream (2016)

This was the funniest piece for me due to it's main character Bom Bom.
She danced to a lot of bashment music and there were points where CGI and a green screen were used as she was dancing on clouds and with a chameleon.

Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster - OPERA (QM.15) (2016)

This was one of the last pieces that I saw and it was the one that stood out the most to me. This was due to that fact that it was a simple projection of a woman but it looked so realistic. It made the woman look as if she was floating and for the longest while I actually believed that it was a real woman

Overall, I really enjoyed this exhibition and it has given me a lot of abstract ideas for what I can use in my own work.
