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)

- photography: - methodology of the working table (tableau vs. table, warburg, tillmans)or collecting and combining images (curation), portraits (who I photograph and why, selfportraits), distortion (manipulation of my own images, obscuring), compositions or abstracted works, subjective gay male gaze

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

Relation to other practitioners, writers (2000)
Wolfgang Tillmans, If one thing matters everything matters.

Barthes in Marocco - Kenneth Anger -

+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.

-In the first year of Piet Zwart I have been looking at LGBT related topics. I mostly did so from a personal subjective perspective in photography, and by looking into queer cinema. In the presentation of the second term I made clear that I wanted to be make a statement with my work, be more political. As feedback the tutors told me I already make a statement in the work that I make.
-Ideally, as a graduation proposal, I would to continue with the three lines of thought I’ve been working on in the first year. The photographic medium in itself (and the methodology of the ‘table’ not the tableau’) , making the (gay) cinematic language my own combined with CGI and LGBT issues/identity. As an end result I would like to bring these three things together, though it might still be loose entities. I think It could be interesting to work towards an installation through curation of the material I will gather.
