Response to Lecture 12.10.2011





My 4 favourite photographs from this lecture is,
1: Harold Edgarton's Drop of milk splashing in to a saucer of milk because of the way it has been captured so perfectly.
2: Christopher Kane on the catwalk, because he has taken something that has become so taboo in fashion and made it more acceptable. This brings forward a notice that not every one has to look like Twiggy!
3: Santiago Sierra because his idea seemed so outrageous and obscene and why would any one do that, but in the end it proves a very valid point. The way he has taken this to show that you can buy a person no matter what their race of financial situation shows just how much of a commercial age we are in.
4: Finally, the idea of photographic Manipulation. The Picture of Stalin's wingman being completely erased from history is a little scary. I have been fascinated by this idea as it is very similar to a book I studied at A Level- 1984 by George Orwell. This makes it seem like his predictions were more like a premonition.
