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

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

We know that 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 will try to show 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 and

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 phographical aspect and also recognize ourselves from another view.

Our idea is exhibiting our photographs on stairs of Mithat Alam. It would be visually impressive and interesting to hang the photographs on a rope if we can get the necessary permission.

Individually I want to have an experiment based on observing the ordinary objects or the usual things around me by an alternating perspective. Taking the the photographs of objects turned upside down or from unusual point of views, focusing on this view of them will arouse so different ideas and feelings over me, my group friends and the other people.

As an individual and also with my frends we desire to perform a satisfactory project and have many ideas in our brains.
