The work denotes old, abandoned buildings around the world. The work shows multiple images in the same print with some being 3x3 or refers to allow the viewer to understand what is going on.
The images connoted the feeling of power with how the images have all been composed together. The Images highlight how the structures that in a normal sense are ugly and an eye saw can look in interesting. The meaning of the images is to show the everyday boring set up with the location all being mundane and ugly with the use of the topology the images look interesting. The images are about objects looking the same with the horizon and the planes to make it stand out to the eye. The use of having the subjects being in the same set up allows the symbols to come together and form a natural harmony to accompany them.
As a viewer, I am amazed by the power that the images convey with all of them being lined up to look the same with nothing being different. All the images are designed to be equal to show the set up with the only thing that is different is the location which makes the images work in unison and as an ally. When looking at the images you will see the same pattern with the locations with your eyes looking at every detail as almost you are finding the out one out, in the setup.
The work is significant to my project as I am planning on using the composition of the images in my work with how the subjects are placed in the centre which makes them easier on the eye and with the placement allows more of a story to be told. The ideas that they have used to show the subjects are powerful with them making sure everything is aligned perfectly to give the OCD message when it comes to perfection. I like how they have taken something that we would see every day in the mundane with it being overlooked and with it being ugly and turn it to something beautiful with the setup.
The strengths of this work are the way all of the images have been lined up together, I am going to change it with it not all going to be straight on this due to safety reasons when making my project as I cannot step into a busy road or railway line as I might get injured. The weakness is that the work is not appalling on my laptop screen as they are too small which makes the need to see this in a gallery more important.
I am planning on taking forward how the images have been laid out in a contact sheet format however I am, not going to be shooting straight on due to safety reasons. I cannot shoot some of the locations that they have used due to the virus and some of them have been knocked down as they were rubbish.
The original intended audience was for students that they taught with them being able to understand what they want to show when it came to this movement. The work is aimed at people to understand what it is going on outside.
The context that I have seen this work has been on my laptop since all galleries are closed due to the coronavirus and I am not meant to travel to look at art. The work is still powerful on my laptop with the way it has all been framed but it will look a lot stronger on a wall in its full size. The work is on the wall with the original print size will allow the work to speak about how the industry is being kept and how they work gives meaning, and you can understand what is about. The work needs people to spend time looking at it which can only be achieved in a gallery setting.
