The Life of Basketball
by Chau Ching Skye
After we finish a basketball match, nothing will be left. Therefore through this art piece, I aim to mark down the life of basketball and give it a meaning. Nevertheless, I hope to remind people to do exercise.
To finish this piece, firstly, we will have to invite some basketball players to play matches with balls colored in paint. While they play the matches, the print of the ball will stick on the floor, and become marks. After the match, we invite those players to take the ball along, and keep playing with it along the road, to make more marks. Finally the road and the court will be surrounded with marks. And finally, we can generate all of the marks through a top view of the basketball court, removing the floor plan and link them all together and produce an art work full of lines–The Life of Basketball.
Through this art work, we can see how the basketball match start and finishes, it is like a single line going everywhere. And even though the match is finished, we can still see how the players played, how the game was, just like a living thing which changes ever moment, therefore we can see the life of the basketball. Also, from the second part of it, we can remind citizens to do exercise through seeing different marks.
