Thursday 2/12 Entry



Staged

In middle school plays, the stage is decorated by the students, with general direction given by their teacher. Before the curtain opens, the audience is free to speculate about what they are getting ready to see. Often the images in their heads don't match up with what is in front of them. When something is thought out and staged, ...the viewer sees exactly how someone else interprets a scenario. In a sense, you're seeing something from its creator's point of view.

I want to interject this feeling into my work more. The mismatching of one person's vision to another's would disconnect the viewer further from the pieces, forcing them to see the photographs as something they are witnessing while subconsciously trying to recreate it themselves.

This is supposed to be research! Where is the research? I am not sure what is going on, but you could do so much better than this.
