| When I first learned that we had to design a photobook I was not that excited. <br />
| |
| Not because I don't like photobooks but because I had a hard time to see how something physical like a photobook could be useful for my own practice.
| |
|
| |
|
| Ironically, now I feel that the photobook I made in the end was the most meaningful project I made this semester.
| |
|
| |
| So I came up with the idea for my photobook when I woke up at 5 AM and I wrote in my phone: Printing on plastic all memories non-linear and intertwined. <br />
| |
| In my self-directed research I have the potential research question: How can I use a method like infra-red which is a scientific objective method, to portray the unconscious? <br />
| |
|
| |
| Over the period of the first semester I build a collection of infra-red images the ones that stood out the most for me were digitally shot with an infra-red filter. <br />
| |
| A selection of these images ended up in my photobook all printed on plastic overhead sheets. <br />
| |
|
| |
| I wanted to use plastic because by doing this all of the images will be exposed through eachother. <br />
| |
| Similar to the idea of double exposure except that in this case all of the 22 pages are connected and translucent. <br />
| |
|
| |
| My aim was to design a photobook that could serve as a script and storyboard. <br />
| |
| It was important for me to combine my photobook and self-directed research and this photobook is meant to be a starting point for my Eye film. <br />
| |
|
| |
| Connecting my images was a great way to reflect on my research and to see them from a different perspective. <br />
| |
| The images are in a dialogue with eachother, related like memories that are connected. <br />
| |
|
| |
| The photobook is not finished and I didn't want it to be finished yet. <br />
| |
| Preferably the photobook will grow with the ideas for my film, I will for example add the title page when I have decided the title of the film.
| |
| I would also love to add new images and maybe text that could serve as a script.
