Define a Place



Colors In The Dark from Bianca Mistretta on Vimeo.


Our "Define a Place" project, titled "Colors in the Dark" is a portrayal of life amongst the still landscape in Central Park. Because of the vast space and the cold weather, the park appears quiet and dead, with many plants barren and animals hibernating. However, through this project, my partner and I were able to capture little moments of life hidden within the park, especially within the concrete buildings surrounding landscape. We hope this film evokes the idea of finding comfort in the little things, when the overall image or goal is emotionless and less inspiring.

Artist Statement

My name is Annie. Nearing the end of my second semester at Hunter, I have only recently decided to declare my major in the media studies path.

I generally worry a lot as a person, and I’m not always able to successfully communicate my thoughts.

It wasn’t until high school that I really took advantage of the digital platforms for art and design and began to build my own artistic persona. My interest in digital art fueled my curiosity in other art forms, such as...

Project 1: Define a Space (description)

As people who are so familiar with the motion-filled landscape, we are often desensitized to the details around us. In our project, my partner and I will be zooming into a different aspect of New York in detail, hoping to capture moments of peace within the bustling and busy city. To evoke this form of tranquility, Bianca and I chose to focus on aspects of nature in the concrete jungle. The characteristics of the city’s nature differ from what the larger idea of “nature” is, and we wish to link together examples of New York’s natural scene to exhibit a form of peaceful escape. To accomplish this task, we hope to film the areas around Central park located near Hunter that bring moments of stillness in contrast to the speed of the city. Some examples include capturing shots of nature such as the plants including the grass and trees, as...
