Hi! Deadline for 1st assignment approaching so here’s a reminder of what’s due for next week.
Project 1. The everyday and the uncanny (37.5%) Photographic series. Submission deadline: week 6 (monday 5 March) including presentation of the production analysis.
For the first project you will be required to produce a photographic series that reinterprets the surrealist strategy of defamilarising the familiar. This will be an individual project that should explore one or more of the following:
1. The concepts of the unconscious and the uncanny as a theoretical model to interpret photographically an aspect of daily life
2. The use of surrealism as a social research into the residues of the everyday, for example, to create an archive of the banal (found photography, objects, etc)
3. The role of surrealist techniques of ready-made, free association and/or collage in finding the marvellous in the familiar.
You are required to produce a porftfolio of exhibition-quality prints according to these criteria:
- Printed for wall display
- Colour or black and white
- Size: A3
-Unmounted
Submission procedure:
In addition to the hardcopy(print) you need to submit your work in a cd in the following formats:
1-tiff files at 300 dpi, no larger than 10×12 cm in size
2-Jpeg files at 72dpi, no larger than 10×12 cm in size.
• Text, including production analysis, must be sent as word documents.
We’ll be meeting in the Loach Lab and Studio 54 is booked for studio work. This is will be a studio/lab session for development of your project.
