Talked to Clare about my shooting plan yesterday. I was planning to have the things layered in the frame because I thought if I shot the things in the frame separately, it would be too ordered and those attempts might happen at the same time. Clare told me that sense of disorder could also be created through disorder of displaying (scale/gap), which brought different sense of time/sound while viewing the photos. Also, as I was shooting at an intimate space, Clare mentioned I could display the photos in a small space. She also suggested I could try different frames, which I’m not sure about yet, because the frame represents my inside world and I’m afraid there’re too many variations, which could be confusing. I have to think about the presentation at the end though.
I tried to shoot things in the frame separately first:
Then I spent 8 hours to make the neon letters…
Today tried shooting layered things in the frame:
I had a hard time deciding if i wanted sunlight on the wall. For layered series, I got sunlight from the last three settings. I decided to keep it because it created a contrast between the wonderful outside world and the broken inside world. And I selected the following 6 photos:
For separated series, there’s only sunlight for the empty frame and the hanger and it would look strange with the rest photos without sunlight. So I decided not to have sunlight:
I have to think which series I want.
