Let’s Have a Ball
In this
gallery the idea is to revert a person back to their childhood-like minds. I believe that people do not stop playing
because they are old, but that they become old because they stop playing. I like the idea of approaching a gallery
space or room blind – not knowing what will happen while walking up the stairs
and then becoming completely surprised when reaching the top and looking down
into a plastic ball pit. I would hope
for the viewer to have the same surprising experience and build up the effort
to jump in and “have a ball.” The
reflected qualities on the inside make it a very colorful atmosphere-which I
think pushes the boundaries of the ball room making it engage all senses.
I want to experience the real live exhibition so badly. So fun. I like that you put the reflective walls on the inside so then one can look at themselves now and what they have become(an adult) and then jump in and think of all the happy time growing up. And for some they may not have had a nice childhood , so they would then get to experience that excitement.I do like the element of surprise of walking up the stairs all to find out there is a ball pit at the bottom.
