Site-specific project, day 3

It seems a long time since the "drawing day" down by the riverside, or the "worksheet day" for this project. Because of the computer crash, I've lost my original photos and have only the small ones from the contact sheet, already on the developmental drawing. My chosen site no longer looks like these photos from flickr - the tunnel under Blackfriars Bridge is much narrowed by hoardings related to the building work on the bridge.

So my proposed installation is to put some mirrors not only along the narrow space at the west entrance to the tunnel, but along the hoardings too, to broaden the space.

The "pleated" mirror is meant to echo the reflections in the windows of the building beyond the railings. The little figure adds a human scale.

Why not have some large mirrors under the arches on the opposite wall, to reflect the "pleated" mirror along the hoardings on the other side? Then people can see themselves reflected to infinity...

Making the proposal sheet involved drawing the tunnel in (one-point) perspective -It only remains to photocopy these drawings, done on tracing paper, adding the mirror to the one on the left.

Most of the afternoon was spent presenting our "river projects" to the rest of the class. People came up with wonderfully inventive ideas - and wanted to explain them at length - so the class over-ran and some people had to leave without having a chance to present.
