Moving Image – Walking down the Stairs to the Kitchen

Here’s another input to my moving image element of my project.

Notes on ‘Ways of Seeing’ by Ossian Ward. – An Introduction to looking again.

Thomas Demands, Tavern 2 (Klause 2), 2006. C-Print/Diasec, 178 x 244 cm A photograph of a model of a photograph. What appears to be an exterior view of a pair of windows covered by ivy is, in fact, a carefully lit and painstakingly crafted scenario made from thousands of cut paper, referencing the exterior of…

Interpreting Gareth McConnell.

After receiving the feedback to look at Gareth McConnell, I decided to attempt to photograph an object within my house that was making me anxious. I photographed a soup bowl that had been left for a day or so where the soup had gone hard around the side of the bowl. How long was it…

Feedback from the Moving Image.

The two recordings that I have shown so far have received som very interesting feedback. The sounds made those who watched uneasy. Creating an audio element is something to look into. And I received some photographic influence to look at also, which for a moving image media, I felt was quite interesting. The photographer I was…

Moving Image – Removing My Makeup

The second recording I did, was myself removing my makeup. Feedback from this particular clip was mainly about, how the sounds picked up by the camera made people uneasy. In particular, the sound of the shower once it was turned on. I am unsure as to why my shower makes that noise, but it’s great…

My Anxious Heart | Katie Crawford

Katie Crawford’s MY Anxious Heart. You can view my blog about her work on my undergraduate blog here; https://alexandrajuliaphotography.wordpress.com/2016/05/10/katie-crawford-my-anxious-heart/  

A Critical Reflection…

I started to realise whilst continuing with my research into creating a photographic series that gives the viewer anxiety that all I was doing, was copying ‘In Anxious Anticipation.’ Copying was something I did not want to do, nor did I want to appropriate as that too would not have been my idea. Appropriating is doing…

The Anxiety in the Image.

Researching into books and journals, that explored my topic was very difficult. It was becoming increasingly harder to find anything that remotely related to my topic. By this time, October,  my topic was still the projection of an anxious state of mind, however, it had changed from a simple photographic series to a multimedia installation…
