Project Feedback Sessions – March 24th.

Today I had two feedback sessions with two different artists. Both Juliet and Anna are art based practitioners and so I felt could give me some more broad advice instead of just photographic advice. Recently I’ve been stuck as to where to take my project next, how to get to the next steps in order…

Natividad by Guillermo “Habacuc” Vargas

Whilst looking into installations and the different types that exist, I came across Natividad. Now, Natividad isn’t necessarily a ‘bog standard’ installation as it wasn’t built for the specific environment that it was placed in, which most installations are, however, I chose to look into Natividad as it had a very strong authority over those…

Oil Paintings by Davide Cambria.

I have been struggling lately to think of a photographic element to incorporate into my installation. I’m not sure whether to still have photography, or which route to take in terms of genre of photography. I had an idea or a thought of using self-portraiture as the photographic element, taking a self-portrait every day until…

Joan Jonas – Vertical Roll 1972

During a feedback session today, it was mentioned that it might be more successful if all the three components of my installation matched each other. At the moment the audio that I have created, to put over the videos does not match the videos at all purposely. So, some feedback mentioned that it might have…

Very Creaky Floorboards.

As 1 of the 3 elements of my installation is sound. I have been working with a talented musician, recording household sounds. These recorded sounds have then been processed to sound slightly less recognisable, but not unrecognisable. Processing them to sound higher in pitch – Screechy.  If anything makes me overcome with adrenaline and anxiety…

Project Proposal – The Projection of an Anxious state of Mind.

I thought it would be a good idea to post my project proposal for my major project in Digital Media MA so that any viewers keeping up to date with the development of my project, could potentially get a better understanding of my project as a whole. I have uploaded the pages from the PDF…

Francesca Stern Woodman

Francesca Stern Woodman, an American photographer from 1958 – 1981, is best known for her black and white photographs, that either includes herself or female models. Many of her photographs show young women who are nude, blurred (due to movement and long exposure times), merging with their surroundings, or whose faces are obscured. Her work continues to…

A seminar by Stella Baraklianou.

In this Seminar, Stella Baraklianou talked to us about her own practice. Discussing aspects relating to experimental photography, processes and practices. So what does experimental photography mean?  Anything and everything that will push the boundaries of what we see the photograph to be. A very diverse category of images made using an assortment of techniques,…

Christian Boltanski

Boltanski is a French sculptor, photographer, painter, and filmmaker, better known for his photographic installations and contemporary French Conceptual style. Boltanski began creating mixed media/materials installations with light as the essential concept in 1986. Tin boxes, altar-like construction of framed and manipulated photographs for example; photographs of Jewish schoolchildren taken in Vienna in 1931, used as a forceful reminder of…

Moving Image – Lunch.

As you can guess from the title, I’m eating my lunch. This is one of the more boring recordings I have done, and one I don’t see myself using within my project.

Moving Image -Doing washing and Making Soup.

Here I am, with yet another recording towards my moving image element. Using the washing machine and making some soup for lunch. The lighting isn’t quite right in this recording and I am heavily shadowed due to the window becoming a back light. However, I like the overall effect it has created.

Moving Image – Walking down the Stairs to the Kitchen

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