Available Space is about finding environments that have an empty clearing. Those openings, be they beside a monument, hidden in a back-alley or a tourist-mobbed landmark, provide the inspiration for the sculpture in the Available Space Images.
For this project, RJ Tripodi explores the photographic souvenir as a site in itself. The photograph becomes the inspiration for a digitally modeled sculpture that is then rendered and fit back into the photograph. The project is about the relationship between the void space in 2D photography and the 3D model made based on qualities found in the photograph. which provides the inspiration for modeling digital sculptures that could potentially be situated on the site.
《可用空间》这本书始于艺术家RJ Tripodi对于环境中空白空间的探索。这些空白–存在于在纪念碑旁，后巷的角落，亦或是挤满游客的地标，当它被相机记录下来的时候，都成为了艺术家用来创作“可用空间”雕塑的场地以及灵感来源。这种二维照片空间与三维数字模型所形成的空间所产生的呼应与冲突构形成了一种模糊的新的空间维度。
