Volgende week: Geënsceneerde fotografie

Misschien denk je erover binnen je opdracht foto's te regisseren? alles binnen je foto's is dan door jou bepaald en je laat niets aan het toeval over.

Volgende week werken jullie in duo's. Je kunt nu al nadenken met wie je samenwerkt. Per duo heb je één statief en één camera nodig. Die heb je bij aanvang van de les bij je (i.v.m de tijd) Na een korte presentatie ga je in het gebouw aan de slag met het creëren van één samenhangend beeld.

The semi-permanent, site-specific mural/installation (titled ‘Full Scale False Scale’) that we recently created at the canteen/café of the Museum of Modern Art (in New York) also comes with a full apparatus of graphic footnotes – a series of sixteen offset-printed placemats (see pictures 1–9) featuring phrases and quotes related to our research; a set of three screenprinted aprons, amplifying the choreographics of the staff (picture 10 – photo by our friend Femke Dekker @loma_doom); and an ongoing run of menu sheets. Above all, there will be the upcoming paperback, to be released by Roma Publications – for more information, see: www.experimentaljetset.nl/fullscale/

RESEARCH REPORT

Name: George Towne

Working title: Synthetic Pictorialism, Synthetic Still Life or aynalitic still life

When looking at Picassos synthetic Cubism the thought struck me of what synthetic pictorialism would be. Would it be what I have been looking at when viewing Erin O'keefe’s work? It could be. But I would see it as more pictorial cubism. So, what would it be? Would it look similar to Picasso’s work? But it cannot without the cubism. I need to look deeper in to what these notions and movements were before I can decide on such things. It is also possible that I am rambling meaningless words. But that is no reason not to peruse this. This is a working title and will definitely change if what I am saying is in fact meaningless.

It also seems rather grandiose for my work.

Research Methods: In creating and developing my project I have used a few research methods. The first of which is Visual Research. On conducting this research, I went to a few galleries to view both paintings and cultural items from the time period I am interested in. As a starting point this time period is around the 1700. This was around the time that the Dutch still lives were created. But I was not beholden to this period as it was the still lives, I was interested in. Since this point I have both looked at older and newer paintings to enhance my work from both the Renascence and the twentieth century. Using visual research has gone hand in hand with my other research method throughout my project. Critical analysis. I have attempted to be as brutal, with my work, as I can be. In attempt to push myself.

Experimentation has also been an important part of my project. Trying new things and teaching myself new techniques, in attempt to improve my work. I have learned a great deal through doing this. Including editing and studio techniques to compositional and perspectival techniques. This aspect of my project has been bolstered by my visual research of more modern artists. For example, Femke dekker. These visual artists have made me re-think entirely, what a still life is. This in turn inspired me to try new more modern editorial and practical techniques in my project which has only improved it.

In congruence with this I have been conducting practical and technical research methods I needed to know to produce my project. I did this through both the internet and asking the technicians who were more than happy to help me. For example, printing, understanding different papers, printing techniques and how the proses works especially with large prints, such as mine. I have looked in to different studio techniques such as, lighting, composition, tethering, focus stacking, using capture one, using the phase one and photoshop. But most importantly to this project using the space of my image and attempting to distort perspective. My tutor has been of great help in this regard, pointing me to various visual artists and explaining technical information like the inverse square law.

Pilot Project: In my Pilot Project I have learned to be experimental with my work. To try different techniques and critically analyze the results before implementing them in my project. As discussed, I learned this through my visual research of contemporary visual artists. That research has taught me to be experimental in my compositions, perspective, in my editing and even to an extent with my lighting set ups.

My practical research has also taught me a lot. I have been pushing my self to re-learn the basics of photography and build up again to have a fuller understanding of what I am doing, especially within the studio. I have learned to use the capture one software, tethering, lighting setups, the inverse square law, studio safety, using the phase one camera, using fuji x series cameras, using the canon 5d series, photoshop software, light room software, software of both PC and Mac OS systems and general problems that arise in the studio environment. Such as working out why a camera isn’t picking up the radio signals from the flash kit, using tethered flash and spending considerable time deciphering fujis wireless tethering. I have learned various techniques to aid my project such as removing unwanted objects from my images, basic compositing and focus stacking.

In printing I have learned about different printing techniques and which paper is most viable for my project, sizing of large image files, about those types of paper (that I am still deliberating over), how to handle prints after printing and how to prepare a print file.

With regards to the content of my project I have learned many lessons. Some harder than others. In my initial visual research, I was overwhelmed with the mastery the paintings I viewed represented, this was continuous throughout my project. But it gave me a goal to aim for no matter how out of reach. Constantly looking and critically comparing my project to these great works taught me to use this humbling experience as a driving force rather than one to stifle me. Which it very well could have. By being extremely critical of every aspect of my own work in this manner pushed me to seek advice and constantly look for ways to improve what I was doing. Over all my pilot project has helped me improve my work ethic under the majesty of these grate paintings, and visual artists. I have learned a great deal from them. But I have much more to learn.

Audience and Context: In the context of a still life, originally, they were not supposed to have an audience as such. The early Renascence paintings were created predominantly as practice pieces for later great works such as Fruit basket to David and Goliath. They were not overtly for public appreciation. Though were in fact sold. Later on, still lives evolved in a sense to be works in themselves but were still predominantly studies. This changed over the years, especially in the twentieth century. In my own project I have been thinking about context of still life I am producing and what its audience might be. I have been attempting to emulate the process of early still lives by using it as a study. This is why, up until this point, I have not been overly concerned with the content of the still life. Using the still life as a study has taught me a great deal, but, was not intended for an audience. Other than when seeking criticism to improve them. However, I am moving to a point where I am thinking about the meaning and make up of my still lives which infers an audience. My proposed audience for my work would be a gallery.

Production and Presentation: In the production of my project, as discussed, I have utilized a great many techniques to attempt to improve my work. These various methods have allowed me to look deeper in to what a still life is. In doing so, I have been able to explore different concepts that would fit with my work. Though I am still exploring this aspect of my project. My plan going forward is to utilize all I have learned in the studio, in editing and practical to produce the best I possibly can. I have thought a great deal about how I will present my work. And have concluded that the best manner of presentation would be a large print in a gallery. In my case I am rathe fortunate as we are required to show our work in such a setting upon completing the project. I have been intrigued by using frames during my project. I am not quite sure yet how I will implement this, but my final image could very well be framed in some fashion. With printing in mind, the size of the print is important. Up until this point I have had in mind and in fact printed to A1 size at 300ppi. However, I wish to push myself and am interested in the concept of stitching images together. The camera I am using (the phase one) can comfortably print to A1 in full resolution. By using photoshop to stich multiple images together I could create a much bigger piece which would be rathe imposing in the gallery setting. This would be interesting to explore this. The down side is that it would be rather expensive. Over all my image will be a single large print in a gallery.

The Image as Artifact

Everything you do in photography (e.g. making a huge print vs. posting on Instagram) is mediated through an object (e.g. printer / mobile phone etc)

Images move us and make us feel certain ways.

There is a relationship between cultural determination and being material beings.

Daguerrotypes had very high cultural value when they first became popular, and today they have high historical value instead.

The photograph as an index or trace - e.g. the Victorians would take photos of dead people as a way of retaining a physical trace of that person - in some cases, this may have been the only photograph ever taken of someone.

Photographs actively construct reality as well as confirming what previously happened.

Altering your appearance in the present e.g. through apps such as Meitu.

Use of expired paper - e.g. Alison Rossiter, Lament: Expired paper, 2007-2009.

Femke Dekkers, Stage 10 (green), 2013 - using the camera to guide where to paint the set in order to impose the idea of a 2D drawing - the camera mediating what she physically does to the space she is in.

Mirror neurons - observed in primates. Structures in the brain that allow us to emphasise with other people.
