A projection based on the 'narrative' of a story, which in this case is the narrative of Will Finn's photographs from Nowa Huta; a city built by the Soviet Union in the image of being an idilic Communist city of the future; and the history behind these photos. 

With a strong focus on the layout and form of images, the final piece, an interactive installation has three features; 

• A (20 page) saddle stitch bind publication featuring Will Finns photo's from Nowa Huta which have been cutup and layed out in compositions that leave empty spaces in amongst the imagery leaving the audience with the task of coming up with the rest of the form themselves; along with Wills own description of Nowa Huta and why he was drawn to the city and it's history. 
• A projection of Rory reading the publication, creating another interaction presenting how the user could create their own narrative as they read the book, which is then being live streamed onto a projection behind him.
• The movement of Rory's hands then directly correlates to the movement of the still imagery (snippets of Will Finns photographs), which is layered over the projection of his hands, creating a new obscured narrative - this allowing the audience to directly impact the imagery that is seen on screen/projected. 

With the aim of being able to transfer this process (interactive forms/narrative) with other new themes, the process of this projection shows how the audience can become the creators/authors of the narrative of my project.

Starting from the live stream (top left corner); I have placed a tracking input which is connected to a set of pre-edited images (photoshop), which will move according to the movement picked up by the tracker.
