A. Pick two images from any of the “constructed reality” photographers presented in class or linked on the assignment sheet. Describe how you could recreate these two images on a “smaller scale”.
I think that anything that Sandy Skoglund creates is just about that most amazing photograph ever taken. Her ideas are so out there and she always achieves a shocking constructed reality with insane perfection. Her true fiction series feels very layered and related to pop art. I think a very affective way to recreate this would be to make a very small mockup using a shoe box. You could then layer images at different depth inside the shoe box to create a some realistic depth. Her shimmering madness series would also be very interesting in attempting to create. I think that in order to do this i would purchase a decent amount of sprinkles and glue and roll miniature figures until they were completely covered. I would then use the remaining sprinkles to construct the stage out of more glue and of course cardboard.
Final Project Proposal:
I have a couple of ideas for my final project. The newest most recent idea plays off of my miniature prompt for Assignment 5. For that set I cut out a skater from a magazine and placed him on a object that looks "skateable". I would push this further by attempting dramatic light and interesting locations. I also thought of playing with sequenced shots steming from 9 fps photos.
My other 2 proposals i mentioned in the last blog. The first being a set dealing with the apocalypse, inspired by my photo of the capital building down town. The third proposal I had was dealing with popular culture, and the repetition of Mcdonalds and Starbucks which dominate our towns.
