Green Room Degree Show final piece Green Room is an installation with a looping video aiming to highlight the point we become aware of the vacuous nature of the entertainment we consume, as the footage of paint drying and images of refuse repeat on screen; giving promise of substance that is never fulfilled, like a never ending teaser trailer. The video questions our viewing habits whilst the installation highlights the mid point between fantasy and reality. The “set” is staged and supposedly “real” materials are left around it. A physical reference to “scripted reality” TV shows that dog the networks.
