As stated in my 'Filming Update' post, there have been some issues regarding the locations. Unfortunately, I wont be able to film in the theatre or recording studio due to prior bookings. This interruption in filming required me to think of new ideas to accommodate my video.
Barbara Kruger Designs
For my A2 textiles I am doing a project on 'Issues' and looking at a particular artist; Barbara Kruger. Barbara Kruger is a conceptual artist and her work mostly consists of black and white images with declarative text over layered on top. She is renowned for her signature white text highlighted in bold red. Kruger is a feminist and in the 60's she campaigned for many woman's rights such as the legalization of abortions. For this cause she created, which is one of her most designs, 'Your Body Is A Battleground'.

I have since began creating my own 'Barbara Kruger' designs and to use as a backdrop for filming. I intend to cover the white wall in the green room with all of my own designs to create a different set. The significance of this backdrop is 'female empowerment'. Kruger is a feminist and Heart Attack has some sexist remarks. For example, the lyrics "But you make me wanna act like a girl paint my nails and wear high heels" is seen as quite offensive to women.
