Creating An Atmosphere

Following on from David Szauders work and how his still digital work can create an atmosphere, I now look at the work of Jee Young Lee and Martin Creed. Jee Young Lee is an artist that creates environments in a room using various props and materials, I thought it was amazing just how much atmospheres she can create using props, materials, colours and lights - something i want to be captured and shown in the branding of my festival - an atmosphere thats inviting and electric. So I visited the exhibition of Martin Creed 'Whats the point of it?' and what stood out for me is the balloon room, full of only white balloons that he allows visitors to just be totally free in, I felt as if I was a little kid again, free, lively and a silly side definitely came out too , where I would try to fall backwards into the balloons, try to find other people in the balloon jungle etc - that was all done just by filling a space with white balloons! So in response I tried to recreate a very dreamy yet surreal visual in my sketchbook - using cotton wool and circular cut outs of paper. Although I wouldn't use to as part of my branding project its a point of inspiration that could possibly help later on in the project.
