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 and relating it to my own practice and methodology.



In the first chapter I will do this by first looking at my past and current work, I will divide this chapter in three parts. First I will talk about my photographic practice and work. Then I will address my use of video and my interest in gay cinema, and lastly I will formulate how these two have overlapping thematically and aesthetically.

In chapter two I will look at the broader context of my work, how it relates to other practitioners/writers. This will be divided in two parts. In part one I will look at the photographic medium, and the artists in that field that I feel I related to, for example Wolfgang Tillmans. In part two I will look at gay cinema, what gay or queer cinema is but also put the work of these Avant-garde artist in a specific context of the time the work was made, and how their work has been absorbed by the mainstream, and in what way I can make a different approach but using bricolage to appeal to certain audiences. (Kenneth Anger, Gregg Araki etc.)

In the final chapter I will make a conclusion/reflection on the development of my process throughout the year.
