Narrative constructions



Last year as part of our video major we hosted an exhibition at the Open Window campus, consisting of 30 or so conceptual videos, each accompanied by an installation of sorts.

The title of the exhibition "Narrative Constructions" comes from the idea that each student had to go through a personal or creative journey of sorts and the process took place over a couple of months. The end result was something quite spectacular.

Each installation evoked some sort of emotion yet each viewer could still experience it differently because of their own "map of reality". I was blown away by the standard of my fellow peers work and that night inspired me in a big way.

This photo shows part of Arno du Toits installation. His face is pictured in between two of the viewers (Vaughan and Lizanne) while Bernard looks on from the outside.
