Response to form and pressure

This article is talks a lot about how and what makes a photograph interesting. Talks about how now we are taking a 3D experience and making it 2D how can we maintain that same immersive experience for viewers. He talks about how photographers have to bring order to a scene but I would argue that in this class with my photo montage I brought disorder to the images that I was using for the purpose of confusing the viewer so it doesn't always have to be just one way. Photography doesn't have to bring order. What about photos that were not planned, what if you accidentally hit the button before you were ready these photos can still be very useful and can still be art while not being planned in such a way as being described.

I like the idea that photographers don't create the image they select the image but I would say that you can still create different pieces with photos in regards to photo arts.

Monologue and final project #3

In this project I embrace the messiness that is every day life. The monologue that we had to read for this project talked about the complexity and fluidity of identity. That is why I chose my partner who is non binary and uses they them pronouns as the subject for this piece. It incorporates the idea that there is binary thinking in the world. There is binary thinking but that does not mean we should be thinking as everyone else does. The monologue challenges the notion of fixed categories, this piece embraces the spectrum between chaos. Hugo also speaks to the past, present and future. In these pictures you can depict what happened in the past to make the space the way that it is you can anticipate what is going to happen in the future either a messier room or cleaning of the room and you see what is going on at the moment with the subject doing different activities in the space. I asked my partner for an interpretation of the monologue because they were the subject and I wanted to i

Trans rights: projection project

This projection project is in a box, the reason it is in a box is because like many other people in the 2SLGBTQ+ community trans people often have to hide who they are our of fear of discrimination or in the case that this project outlines; death. Trigger warning: death, suicide, hate crimes against the 2SLGBTQ+ community. The project was completed around November 20th which is transgender day of remembrance. On November 20th every year we remember the lives of trans people who were lost in the past year. Still in 2023 there were over 300 individuals lost world wide and around 7 in Canada due to hate crimes or suicide. The box that I have created has the words "trans rights" being projected onto articles from the anti sexual orientation and gender identity protests going on across Canada. These hateful protests send messages to trans and gender diverse individuals that they are not welcome to be who they are in spaces that are meant to be safe for them such as schools. Thi
