noun: evidence [/ˈev.ɪ.dəns/] - something that gives proof or leads to a conclusion
Experiment #1:
In class, we have been looking at the theme of evidence.
We were asked to make 6 photos based on a set of instructions and this is my outcome of it.
The instructions were:
- Photograph the photograph so that light is reflected on its surface, partly obscuring the subject
- Photograph the photograph with someone else’s hand (holding, pointing, obscuring etc.)
- Photograph the photograph in an unusual place
- Photograph the photograph inside a book. Consider the relationship between the photograph and the adjacent text/image(s)
- Photocopy the photograph. You may do this in any way you like. Photograph the photocopy.
- Damage/disrupt the photograph in some way. You may use simple tools to help you. Photograph the damaged/disrupted photograph
Evidence is widely regarded as a form of "proof" for something happening, of which these photos are proof of my attempt to play with these instructions to create these photographs. I don't necessarily think it was too difficult however getting the ideas to be creative with the photos proved to make me think about it more than normal. I don't know how to feel about the word "evidence" as it has more legal connotations than anything artistic.
