Abstract
The materiality of these works is not confined specifically to a digital, sculptural, two dimensional, or mechanical representation of an idea, instead the ideas are explored with materials that best suit the intention of the works. The thesis work, Hypotyposis, is a sculptural model of various fictional worlds that continually appear as a topic in science fiction films. These topics are often a metaphor for an idea or a thing that challenges humanity and changes how we view the world we live in. Hypotyposis is presented to the viewer as a realistic interpretation of a space and its intentions are to suspend the viewer’s disbelief, if only for a moment. The intention of this work is also to explore the relationship between the world as we experience it and the world found in fiction.
