Just for fun.


   Attached is a link and video of an artist, Ian Strange who works with the idea of home. For his work he actually deconstructs weather damaged homes in wide areas. He works with photographers and more to produce these neighborhood size works. He will also builds replica homes/neighborhoods and paints on them, then producing a video as the final product. His work is driven off of the geography of these neighbors and leaves an impact.  Thought I would share, enjoy.



This is a description of his video on his site:

"FINAL ACT is a new a film, photography and installation based project by visual artist Ian Strange.In November 2013, Ian Strange in collaboration with cinematographer Alun 'Albol' Bollinger [Lord of the Rings, Heavenly Creatures, The Frighteners] created three new film and photography based artworks incorporating four suburban homes in Christchurch, New Zealand. These homes were located in Christchurch’s residential “Red Zone”, an area containing over 16,000 houses slated for demolition after the devastating 2011 earthquake. FINAL ACT is in part an emotive archive of these Christchurch homes and a continuation of the artist's ongoing exploration of the social and emotional icon of the home.
