Field and Frames Lecture

OM - John Smith 1986

Simple but effective is the phrase I would use to describe this piece. The audience is led to believe they are watching a monk hum whilst in a state of meditation however the lesson is nothing is always as it it seems. it is revealed that it is in fact the complete opposite of a monk and is in fact what many people would see as an English skinhead which is given by his Fred Perry polo and obviously his hair. This is great shock factor to finish this simple piece.

Notes from this: simple, don't over complicate, illusion, address the audience, don't reveal everything immediately, confusion.
