In todays class we presented our work on my home in a slide show presentation. The pieces that stood out to me were the ones that had a consistent aesthetic. In particular I liked the works that consisted of pale, washed out and over exposed images or dark, contrasty and underexposed images. I really liked the works that experimented with light in different forms including shadows and reflections.Other interesting works were ones that captures the frustrations in every day life in a humorous and relatable way. E.g a door that doesn’t close, a suitcase that doesn’t unlock, jars on the top shelf in the cupboard that are hard to reach. I also sound it really interesting hearing about the architectural concept by On Sou Fujimoto that looks at the relationship between the human body and the structure of cities.It highlights the relationship between the 2 seemingly unrelated things such as the way that traffic flow is similar to the circulation of blood in our body or the way that buildings are composed to create space and energy and allot the city to breathe much like the functions of human lungs. In a way everything that has structure, flow and motion will have some sort of a circular system to it. E.g cogs in a clock, chains on a bike, the motor in a computer or engine in a car. “We raise blinds and lower shutters as we do eyelids, animating the house like a secondary body, ensconcing or rejecting light into our spaces.”Man made creations often subconsciously stem from our understanding of our own body. When juxtaposing sound with the images I want to be more experimental in the use of sound. In the future I would like to use editing programs to see the different effects ad moods I can create to accompany and compliment or juxtapose and contrast my images.
