.ZBIGNIEW FITZ.

As I wanted to look into artist that have used an almost projection effect I found Fitz, I thought this worked well alongside my idea. Using the human body a lot to create more organic figures which work really successfully.

I find her pieces are rather dramatic, the use of light and harsher tones/contrasts. Also in a lot of her pieces she sets out to make the human body very organic and almost appear fragile.

 Although I really like the outcome of her photos, she has actually use photo manipulation rather than projecting these onto the body.

I wanted to experiment with using light on top of the found objects. 

TATE BRITAIN

.JOHN MARTIN.


After going to the Tate Britain to see.. John Martin - Apocalypse. Although his work was more traditional then my practise. In one of his rooms he had a piece where there were projections on his paintings (this was remastered by someone else in a way of displaying his paintings.) Although I didn't necessarily like the style which it had been done - I found this really inspiring for me to look further into the idea of projections.

"Theatrical display of the 'Last Judgement' triptych

Exhibitions of these paintings were sometimes accompanied by dramatic lectures and lighting. Theatre company Uninvited Guests have created a sound and light show for our own times, when apocalyptic blockbusters are a popular cinematic entertainment. The words you can hear are drawn from the pamphlet that contained a descriptive key to the paintings, published advertisements and reviews from the time of the original exhibition tour and Martin's inspiration, the Book of Revelation, King James Bible" (Tate website)

I decided to look at some abandoned objects 

I found this vase like object - which I found in someones front garden and bought it home with me. The glass is smashed but I though it would be good for a form of sculpture 

Was so tempted to bring this home although I know my mum would've been best pleased. I found a sink/toilet  tank/sink stand together. I liked the way the person had stacked these outside they look almost staged. They were just waiting to get noticed haha.

I became fascinated by the idea of abandoned environment and looked at the idea of objects that have been abandoned.

GUY BATEY

Although it wasn't an abandoned building I went to my boyfriends house I went to explore and found there wreck of a basement - I thought it looked pretty abandoned so took some snap shots of it. These worked more successful than the other photos - although I liked the darkness of the other ones as it created an atmosphere. 

EXPERIMENTATION

I decided to go to an abandoned hospital recently - Although I got told off by security so I couldn't venture, I only managed to get photos from the outside.The lighting was awful and I didn't get a chance to take as many as I would've liked to. I will hopefully be able to get another chance to take some photos indoors somewhere to actually experience the atmosphere - like Nelson's. I really like the environment of something that has has decayed over time.
