Museum Gallery and Heritage Studies,

Circuit of Culture


In a group discussion, we planned to replicate the well as a semi well and place it in our installation.
The background of our installation art is a closed surface.

So, a large scale of carpet is used to cover the background from spoiling our installation projection.
Then, some trashes were brought over to throw it around the floor as how it was in Hakka Village. After that, we spread dried soil onto the floor to make it look dusty and old, and some water sprayed to it. Adding on some coconut shells as trash. A broken umbrella was helpful for us.

Moving on next part, we hung a chair, a light bulb and a rubbish. The chair was broken but still manageable to make it a platform to sit. What we wanted to say here is, even if something is broken, it can still help and useful for us. The reason why rubbish were hung, is to show that no appreciation towards mother nature and especially the environment there. For the bulb, it says that the facilities are given but it has no use for the people there in Hakka Village.

For the background projection, we manage to manipulate all the images that we have taken. The photo manipulation of the image result were vintage style of photos then it is applied to a video format. Here, the help of Adobe Premier was good to edit the images into video. The images were shown from angle to angle in different rotation and scale.

Other than that, we snapped a picture of one member, then manipulated the image as a shadow of a person standing. This were applied to the video too. This is to show that in previous life during the Hakka Village were full of people, there might someone taking water from the well. That is the main reason of  placing the shadow beside the well.

This is the image :
