Photographic experimentation 29/06/09







The above experimentation's are a result of having too many photographs of my degree show, so i decided to play with them. Experiment with perspective, illusion, form and line and also with the re-representation. Representation? What is it that I am representing. Can a photograph only ever just represent or can it be seen as a material that we handle/manipulate with our hands and eyes. i don't mean the camera, I mean the given out-put, the photograph. But then I suppose the camera can not be separated from the produced image, it is part of it's materiality. Can a photograph have a materiality? What i also like in these images is the line that travels through, the extension. The line that plays around with what is real and what isn't in the images. The line that draws and disturbs, but represent?

That Black Void...In the image..

Transitional object. It goes from drawing, to 3 dimensional object to photograph. It's always there but what is it's function? Does it have to have one. It's there because of me.

I play with it.
I like that.
An object of play
and my relationship to the object of play?
I use my hands to move the object.
Play with the tape
Play with the graphite
Play with the camera
Play with the audience
What is it that they perceive?
Void?
Maybe the object its self is enough?
String makes it heavy
Look heavy...
