I'd love to do something live, something on location, in a place or on an object that has some meaning to the issue at hand, ie: on the wall of an abandoned migrant refuge, or against the fence that stretches across the US border, that kind of thing. Obviously, those are out of the question, but hopefully you get my point.
These two videos below are an incredible method of live art, ie: animations drawn against real world canvas, shot in stop motion photographic form. They are epic and impressive in their scale, and inspiring in their design, as a tale is put together with these objects and characters moving across all kinds of backdrops, at times you wonder how it's even done!
Essentially just a series of wall paintings, photographed and reassembled in the editing suite, the simple nature of the method by no means underlines the sheer creativity of the idea, which is amazing to me, and speaks volumes about where you can take an idea.
The scale of the two pieces is perhaps a little too big for what I could pull off, as it looks like they need a whole team of people over the series of entire months, plus permissions from land and building owners to paint on their walls. but the method is what really excites me, and while the scale is huge, I still don't want to count anything out quite yet. Better to aim for the stars and fail than not aim at all right?
