Critique Reflection
In my critique I showed the work from my previous post. These were a small series of digital shot that I completed in preparation for my thesis project. I am pretty in my ideas and in the concept and execution of the final project however, I am still dealing with presentation issues. I was originally planning on doing a series of prints, about 20 in total. I decided last week that I wanted to interview my models and have the audio playing as the audience looks at the photographs. This problem with this is that depending on wall space, some might have to be viewed higher or lower than eye level and I really want the viewers to get a close up look at the photographs and see all of the details. If i do a lot of photographs, which I intend on, they will most likely have to be small so that they can all fit on the wall. My classmate suggested that a definite positive of this display is that the viewers can stay and see the photographs at their leisure and more or less time on the photographs. My other presentation idea was that the pictures would be viewed in slideshow. This would eliminate the space issue as well as the size issue. However, I would only have the photograph viewed for a certain amount of time and the viewer may not get as much time to see it as they would like. however, this has the advantage of the audio being synched to the photograph as another classmate mentioned. Whereas the audio would be playing but you wouldn't necessarily know what voice goes with which pictures, and what I have to think about in the coming weeks is if that is important. For now I'll just have to start shooting, see how many pictures I get and see how it starts to shape as the semester progesses. I wrote down the names of a view artists that were suggested to me such as Jenny Seville, John Copeland, and Hannah Wilke, however I think I spelt one wrong...Milan Rotenburg Squeece? Or something like that and I couldn't find anything on that artist. The other 3 I found. If there was a specific series or image that you were thinking of when you suggested the artist please let me know!
