Its only natural for me to choose the the hardest city to describe. When the assignment was first given about the reading I assumed thats all it was but WARP had different plans for me. I ended up choosing a story that didnt really talk about the city at all but rather the projection of what the city looked like from the distance to two different types of people. My city, Despina, was the city between two desserts: one of the sand and one of the sea. These men looked to Despina and saw ships to take them away or a calm oasis to escape to. The story did give me some very specific details but when read you realize that the men couldnt have seen what they saw from the distance they were at. To me it seemed that everything described was hazy and dreamlike.
I decided to take these mirage type images and make a projection out of it. I plan to work on my city more to make the image a little more clear.I believe the problem was in the way I formed the curtain and not having strong enough cuts in my cardboard.
