Installation View
I had 13 pages for the first 3 projects in the portfolio and I found I had to have the installation view pages as the first pages for each project as I only have 2-3 pages for each project… I had to retake the installation view for the first project.

Academic Tutorial
Showed the 3 series of photos to Clare. She found some photos stronger:
And others are not obviously strange enough. She suggested me to take videos of my repeated doing and undoing without actual change/effect from the actions. I really have received suggestions of making my images moving many times for multiple projects. I just have never worked on videos and never thought about it myself. I guess the reason why I get these comments is that I tend to tell my ideas through change/movement/action. I just thought the moments captured were enough. Clare said emphasis on actions through video could also tell the futility of the attempts and it’s a way to slow viewers down to think about the purpose.
I think I’ll give it a try but I need to think further about which scenes I want to shoot.
