Marieke / Design Photobook

When I first learned that we had to design a photobook I was not that excited.
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.
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?

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.
A selection of these images ended up in my photobook all printed on plastic overhead sheets.

I wanted to use plastic because by doing this all of the images will be exposed through eachother.
Similar to the idea of double exposure except that in this case all of the 22 pages are connected and translucent.
