PATPOTI Review

PATPOTI was the first project I did in second year. I focused a lot on digital and physical manipulation of portrait photos however there were some elements of land scape photography that I found very interesting and I think relates quite a bit to what I am wanting to look into.

For part of this project I digitally manipulated landscapes to create interesting and usual photos, some of them were slightly symmetrical, I enjoyed this part of the project however I didn't really continue with this I moved on to something else, I feel as though this section is relevant.

Projecting images onto clay

https://www.instagram.com/p/CJs24xQFekD/?igshid=1exi7vsn5ial7 This is the video of the projection of the images onto the clay piece. I like the way this video looks, although it was taken for documentation purposes I think it is interesting. It shows how interactive the piece is and I can imagine it being displayed. I like the idea of people being able to walk around the piece exploring it from different angles and perspectives. I think having multiple projectors could be an interesting idea to look into, although this could cause confusion within the images.

Thibault Brunet

Image
 Thibault Brunet is an artist who explores photography through cyberspace. Brunets work is very digital and constructed. His images are usually screenshots of games and items constructed in the digital space. He has also done series exploring France through Google Maps and sometimes would take parts of the images and remove them from their original place to decontextualise them. Brunets work feels similar to mine as we are both working with places that exist digitally. However where I am then taking these digital places into the physical world he keeps them digital. His work is very much based on landscape but not always a whole landscape, sometimes he only focuses on individual buildings however the way he presents them seems to place them in their own landscape. Taking individual buildings out of their context and placing them in their own landscape gives them a completely different feel. It makes them feel constructed and isolated, like they don't belong in the real, physical wo...

Comparing work

 It feels as though I have a few different types of work, but all of them are based around the collages. It feels as though the main point of my work was to explore how to present it. However I feel like recently this has changed slightly through using clay. In a way it feels to have become more about representing landscapes. When I first started this I was taking fragments of places and then putting them together to create a whole pice however I was then fragmenting them again to re present them as a whole landscape. Showing that there was a relationship between the sections but also showing that they were in fact fragments of places. With the plain clay piece that resembled a topographical map in a way, it felt like this still reflected the idea of representing landscapes and making new ones. All this was was a piece of clay moulded so it had depth and contours and different levels, by placing it within this project it gave it meaning. It gave it context. This then allows the vie...
