Project proposal DRAFT 1 (12.9. 2019)
1. What do you want to make? And how?
- I wish to continue with the practice between photography and gestural mark making (including both 'Trace' and 'Drawing Camera')
- concretely: a photographic series (pictures that merge photographs and drawings), possibly an installation
- to continue 'Trace' – photographic series, a typology (of marks of use, deliberate or accidental traces in public space). HOW: By making more books and explore other means of presentation (wallpaper, flooring etc.)
- to further develop the 'Drawing Camera'. HOW: By making another camera (to explore possibilities of movement integrated in the pictures); taking more pictures; trying out different means of materialisation of the photographs (on support such as textile, plexiglass, paper etc.)
- Photograms and camera-less pictures. HOW: Create in the darkroom.
3. What is your timetable?
- September&October: printing, materialising the pictures I made in the past trimester
- October&November: 2 exhibitions (to try out a couple of ideas, as prototypes)
- October: making another camera
- December: darkroom experimentation
- Then … I don’t know yet
4. Why do you want to make it?
TO Develop specific practice between drawing (gestural mark-making) and photography WHAT FOR
Because I am attracted to the fundaments of both means of image-making and I think they can be tightly related
PUROPSE OF MY IMAGES, WHAT DO I WANT TO CONVEY
5. Who can help you and how?
- Tutors: analyzing, bringing another view on what the work means
- Fellow students: same
- Sonia as an experienced photographer, also interested in formal and inherent qualities of the photographic medium: by sharing the research (group readings), *practical experiences and skills (help with printing in the darkroom)
- Mathijs (guest teacher for DIY camera workshop): building another camera
- Teachers of the photography workshop (Menno and Jeroen): practical and technical matters (actual printing, building the camera etc.)
6. Relation to previous practice
- Previous practice based in drawing, painting, printmaking
- Current practice means bridging these with photography
- All share the basic concepts such as: a mark, an image, an index, a print, a gesture, surface and layering
7. Relation to a larger context
- History of photography (early-photographic processes)
- Theories of drawing (drawing in a broad sense)
- Theory of the photographic medium (V. Flusser, S. Sontag, M. Jay)
