My second final project is based on my research on Conceptual Photography ,specifically the work of Dave Nitsche and Sophie Calle both of whom I discussed here. It is loosely based on my first project which was centred around the word 'obfuscation' as this project also questions how some people see view things- to an extent, for example someone may perceive an image as being stupid and confusing while another interpret it as being deep and imaginative.
I want to select simple words or phrases then take pictures that I feel matches the word in order to present how I interpret a word. This actual idea was heavily inspired by Dave Nitsche's work based on phrases as well as other conceptual photos I had seen around the internet. Many of the artists chose to give their photos short- to the point titles, in some cases I felt that they hadn't chosen the best title while in others I thought it was brilliant although the majority of the time this decision was all based on how I had interpreted the image before reading the title. |
