Lis Rhodes; Light Music
Appreciation levels become confused with works such as 'Light Music', made in 1975 it was no doubt an advanced installation for its time, but this is forgotten as people whisk in out and out in the year 2012, amongst checking their emails and facebook on their iphones. I started my BA with a keen interest in celluloid film, later to realise it was a purely aesthetic desire and that other mediums made more sense for the message I wished to communicate. However, the somewhat primeval feel, in the grand scheme of art history, that I obtained from this installation left me amazed and with an after thought for the use of film and also smoke machines!
