WEEK 10: REVIEW B

On a separate website, reading out the statement while showing the images.

First question is, what brings the pictures together. Initially, seems like a collage, drawing on different aspects of every day with a nice attention to detail. Apart from the first image, frame seems to be spacial poetics (beyond architectural).

Improvement ideas:

·    don’t quote Wikiquote (it’s not scholarly), just use the words.

·    denser academic level is missing, more depth by reading

·    Rebecca Solnit Wanderlust (how does walking operate and apply that to my image process; walking informs the way we look)

·    Walter Benjamin Arcades Project

>    observing society, how society changes from the passage of walking

>>    cultural shift that happens when walking along a street/neighborhood (like north to south)

·    Uta Barth: light that comes through the window (contained in a space = not walking)

>>    learn to unpack how to look at the world in a deeper, richer context

>    instead of only compositions

>>    possibly from two different boundaries: one by walking, the other in just one space (one room)

>>    Hoda Afshar: looks at culture at a very deep, complex level, yet makes poetic, beautiful images that are about observation of cultures and different spaces

·    not only reading text but also bring hard reading to the images.
