Douglas Gordan created ’24 Hour Psycho’ (1993), slowing down Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘Psycho’ increasing the duration to 24 hours.
Exploring many themes as; recognition and “repetition, time and memory, complicity and duplicity, authorship and authenticity, darkness and light” (http://www.theguardian.com/arts/pictures/image/0,8543,-10204531576,00.html)
Slowing the sequence completely alters the audience’s perception of reality varied from the conventional 25fps.
Gordan Stated that “The past continues, and the future never happens, so everything remains in the present. The present is where the future and the past converge continuously”, he is referring to the slow pace of the images, it is impossible for us to remember the entirety of the frames that are displayed over such a great deal of time, allowing the viewer to focus more upon the present.
This is extremely reliant in terms of the unconscious; whilst we dream we do not question how we arrived at the dream, we are only concerned with the occurrences of the ‘now’.
I feel the use of slow motion will allow me to create an abnormal perception of reality, hopefully allowing the viewer to associate my dream sequence with their unconscious perception of dreaming.
