What do you want your thesis to be about? Introduction (500 words)

Three strands of thought could be considered in my practice. Researching the photographic medium, but also the idea of 'seeing' in itself, making the (gay) cinematic language my own, and LGBT issues/identity. In the thesis I would like to investigate further on the above mentioned lines of thought and by doing so reflecting on my own practice and methodology. I will do this by first looking at my past and current work, then I will look at the broader context of my work, how it relates to other practitioners/writers, and finally make a conclusion/reflection on the chapters mentioned before.

Past and current work (2000)

- video: queer cinema (kenneth anger etc.), - how

+What do you want your thesis to be about?
-In general I think the best option for me to shape my thesis would be through one of the example formats given: a narrative that traces a web of relationships – contextualizing your work in relation to other practitioners, practices and artworks, situating your work within relevant theoretical, philosophical, aesthetic and other fields of knowledge.
+'''Introduction''' (500 words) <br>
-Because I think it could be interesting to keep on researching the three strands of research I've been conducting so far(queer cinema, lgbt identity/issues, and the photographic medium as such). A possiblity could be to divide the thesis in two or three parts.
