Project Proposal

FA.494 PROJECT PROPOSAL

In our project we intend to work with photographs and the modified versions of these photographs. We will take the photographs of buildings, people, nature , objects, and the other ordinary things around us. We will evaluate them in a different way. We mainly want to play with the positions, phases and shapes of them. Timing, light, reality and fluency will be the main concepts that will guide us.

Our aim is try to show the resulting effects of changing or transforming the shapes positions and phases on reality. And deciding if this is a deformation or a renovation.

We know that the light has different effect on objects. Light influences the appearance and perception of scenes in photography. Also we will try to widen the photographs by playing with the borders of objects by painting. In this part we it will be shown that there is no limit of existence. Another modification we decided to perform is forming a puzzle by the parts of a whole or changing the arrangement of parts, for example cutting the arms and legs of a person interchanging these parts over the body of him/her. We will show that it is possible to walk by our hands and wave by legs just in photographical aspect and also to recognize ourselves from another view.

In the project I individually will takes photos of an object part by part. Mean that, for example Mithat Alam Building or a person. I will divide the building into several parts. And I will take the photos of each part separately at different times. For example one part will be taken in the morning, the other one in the night. With different colors and different angles. I will try to catch the time of light by this also the changes in color. Also one part will be with the original color and the other will be colorless or pale. Then I will put all these different parts into an integrity. They all will be placed on a block or on a different material. Finally, when we will bring our work together, the project will be shown on a rope by attaching or hanging these photos on it. I believe that this will include an art aspect also a creation aspect. The integrity at the end, I think that will show what I have in my mind now in a clear way.

I think it's a great idea, I know a movie called "Smoke"; in that movie there was a character who takes a photograpgh of a specific street, everyday, from the same place, in the same hour for years. And he makes an album of these photos.At a glance you may say that every photograph is same but when you look closer, the people in the photos, the weather, the light and sometimes the buildings change. To see this change in photographs is very striking I think.
