Abstract: The Dissertation will be addressing ephemerality through a practice-based process. Through artistic references ways in which artists through their individual artistic processes approached to interpret ephemerality from different points of research are explored. The first chapter will present an argument reflecting ephemerality, transience, time and other related subjects backed up by a select group of artistic examples. These examples will provide comparable and contrasting examples. Paramount points such as the manner in which the artist tackles the materials or sources used, how the material was treated or transformed, where the creative processes took place and most importantly how the lifespan of any materials in general where manipulated will be analysed. After the first chapter this dissertation will go into the personal approach undertaken to conducting the research and the project; essentially outlining the methodological steps taken throughout the process. The project itself will also be described and the intended exhibition space will be accompanied with photographic images and detailed plans of the space. Since the subject of time is pivotal to this dissertation, the perspective towards time and lifespan will have a section dedicated to it on its own, as well as, a set of interviews conducted across one-to-one sessions. The overall outcome of this dissertation project is to reflect a clear flow from the research phase to the creative project whilst reflecting on multiple interpretations.
