WEEK 5: SUPERVISOR SESSION (W/ SHANE)


Mini-Assignment (practice lead research)

Connecting window displays into the streets / into the culture of their belonging, to tell a more profound kind of story. And get a sense of how to start visualizing some of these narratives/conflicts.

Language of Creative Research: Objectives

Work in Progress:

  • To create a series of photos with overlays of projections from digital archive pictures in order to gloss over reality and yet to reveal a deeper idea of memories and dreams.
  • To create a series of photos consisting of fragments, details and moments to illustrate several and different dimen- sions of a psychological personality.
  • To create a series of photographs to visualize the emotional experience and psychological state during the lockdown restrictions.
  • To sequence a series of photographs in order to create a narrative of personal inner thoughts.
  • To capture in digital photographs reflections on water and glass surfaces to create layers of meaning that represent different ways of being.

First pictures for the project: Test pictures for clothes

These are only roughly edited to give a first impression.

Feedback

Jessica Dettinger's images in the proposal:

  • poorly lit (flat)
  • no narrative which feels distrubing
  • banal: images only frame interesting content (content holds the weight of the image).

 

… compared with Hien Le's:

  • more perceptive
  • more inquisitive
  • more visual innovation
  • clear creative direction.

These here could already work as the project … done. BUT: I do want to try my vision and am aware that a lot can go wrong and there are a lot of ways how to achieve my project. If it doesn't work the way I originally planned it, this is a possible alternative.

Objectives: The way they are now, they don't provide a lot of scope for enquiry and development. They are too definitive. That's why: Turn them around.

  • To capture in digital photographs reflections on water and glass surfaces to create layers of meaning that represent different ways of being.

~ To explore meaning and the representation of ways of being through mirrored surfaces.

  • To sequence a series of photographs in order to create a narrative of personal inner thoughts.

~ To explore personal inner thoughts [maybe: what kind of framework of inner thoughts] …

  • To create a series of photographs to visualize the emotional experience and psychological state during the lockdown restrictions.

~ To explore the psychological impact of restricted personal freedom through photography.

etc.

 

Strategy to write objectives: Write them and then write them in reverse. I wrote objective outcomes instead of research objectives.

Purpose of an objective: To focus the thinking and engagement with the practice (not providing the answers for you > the practice itself needs to provide the answers through investigation, exploration, research and inquiry = how outcomes are generated).

Create objectives that are focussed enough to have an idea (framework) through which to start the project. But open enough to be positioned as an inquiry.

This project: Using fashion to explore meta narratives within culture and society (political, social, environmental, civic, civil, etc.) > means are fashion photography (with an anchor of past practices and focus for community of practice), but also an open ended inquiry about making links between codes and conventions, histories of practices of fashion photography and the new thing (my meta narrative).
